need to add fluid to auto 05 tranny...HOW?

[GI Joe 97/02]

When re servicing the fluid there is no dip stick. I know its sealed but it has a drain plug and I need to know how I put the fluid in and how do I know I got the right amount in?
Thanks

The drain plug is two stage, it has a center plug into the middle of it. You need a special fluid pressure tool and you hook it to the center of the plug. Fluid gets forced up into the pan, and then you let it drip out till it stops. Then it's full.

Yes, it sucks.

hey Surge thanks for the info...thats a good start for me...but I'm not quite clear on the part about it dripping until it stops.... Is it a pressure plug that stops draining after a certain amount of weight/pressure if put against it???
Also where do I get this tool?
.......and thank you for the help...

That is correct I found that out when I put the torque convertor in.

Thanks Mike
