Put truck up on jackstands (good ones, be safe!) The drain plug is on the bottom of the trans I use a 1/2 inch breaker bar to get them out, the fill plug is on the side of the unit. I break the plug loose and then put a catch pan (big one) under the plug prior to removing the plug. Agian "prior" to removing the plug, the bigger the pan the smaller the mess you will have to clean up. To refill the unit, simply reinstall the drain plug and remove the fill plug (again on the side of the trans) and pump in the new fluid, a fluid tansfer pump works the best. (Northern Tools, Harbor Freight ect.). Good luck and make sure you put back in the proper fluid, owners manual or a call to the dealer will tell you what your specific unit needs.
Yes
GM Dexron III. See page 6-16 of the owners maual
It would be shown in the owner's manual. Some newer cars no longer have a dipstick to check the fluid with. There is really no need to check it unless it is leaking, and then repairs would have to be done. The owner's maual would show what the fluid change intervals are though.
Yes the 6 speed maual only

all you do is look at the maual book dumies
If you are really talking about an automatic transmission flex-plate, then a clicking noise at a lower rpm that seems to go away as yoiu wrap up the motor would indicate a crack. A maual transmission's flywheel that is cracked will generally cause the cluth to slip, and eat the clutch disc rapidly. There will be a strong smell!
