In order to check the oil level u have to crawl under the truck and locate a screw on the side of the tranny. Stick ur little finger in the hole then curl ur finger down. Remove ur finger and look at the fluid line on ur finger it should be full to the point to where it starts to come out the hole when u fill it up from that location. That's also the filling location.
the tranny itself is the reservoir, check the level on the tranny dipstick to see that it is full.
The type of transmission fluid to use is Dexron III. Capacity is about 8 quarts depending on if the transmission is dry, including the torque converter.
You can find a 1981 Ford F150 manual transmission diagram inside the vehicle's owner's manual. Some auto stores also have the diagram available.
If the car won't move when it's in gear, check the transmission fluid level. Check to see that the parking brakes aren't stuck.
The gas mileage of a 1981 Corvette can depend on whether it is automatic or manual transmission. With automatic transmission, it gets 15 mpg on the highway, and 21 in the city, but with manual transmission, it gets 14 mpg on the highway, and 22 in the city.
