You will see two holes that a 3/8" ratchet should fit into the bottom one is the drain plug make sure that is tight, the one above it is the fill plug. Just undo it fill her up and your good to go. It is on the passenger side of the trans.

An easyer way is too take the shifter off and take the upper plug out and have a pan under the hole and fill it from the shifter on top untll it starts coming out the fill hole on the side, then it's full.

I used a gear oil pump on my '89. Its a pain only being able to put in 1 quart at a time, but not as much pain IMO as pulling the shifter.

Seems like the more difficult way to me, but whatever tickles your pickle.TurboXstang said:
I just used a pump to pump the ATF in. You already have the car up to drain the fluid, all you have to do is pull the plug and pump the fluid.

I agree, go to a auto parts store (even walmart has them in there auto section) buy a cheap fluid transfer pump less the $10. I can not tell you how many times it has come in handy since then.
ive always poured the fluid at the shifter in my dads truck (had to replace the clutch a few times, a 4cyl 5spd isnt that great for pulling vehicals out of mud holes) but we have to take the shifter off to get the tranny out anyway so its just easer that way.
