Best Answer

in a manual transmission escort follow your speedometer cable to the transmission, there is a 10mm bolt and a clip holding the speedo cable in, you read the gears to check fluid level and add fluid in the little hole, BUT BEWARE, The plastic holder for the speedo cable is broken VERY easily if too much force is used, your better off going to a dealership or a cheap mechanic to have it checked,
