There is no external transmission reservoir. Transmission fluid is stored in the transmission. Fluid is added at the same point at which you check the fluid level.
how to check the fluid on a manual transmission for a 1989 ford probe gt
Add it the same place you check it, through the dipstick tube. Check the level with the transmission hot, in park, engine running, on level ground. Use only Dexron fluid. Do not overfill!!!!!
You add automatic transmission fluid to a 1989 V6 3.0 Toyota pickup truck through the filler tube in the engine compartment. This is also used to check the fluid level.
On level ground, remove the filler bolt. Carefully feel inside (or if you can get a good look with a light), the appropriate level is to have the fluid right at the edge of the bolt hole.
The location of all transmission fill locations (if your unable to find a plug on the transmission itself) is where you check your transmission fluid dipstick. Pour fluid down the very small drain with a small funnel slowly. Check your level then add the appropriate amount. Start your engine (to warm it up because it is much thicker) and fill until fluid is at the max level. Never overfill transmission fluid.
Assuming you are asking about an automatic transmission, the transmission fluid is added through the tube where the dipstick is located. Pull out the dipstick and using a funnel add a little fuid at a time, check the level often because you do not want to overfill the transmission - you want the fluid in between the marks on the dipstick. If you are asking about a manual transmission, there is a screw plug on the side of the transmission somewhat higher than the center of the body. Unscrew the plug and use your finger to feel the level of the fluid. A manual transmission is full when the level of the fluid is at the bottom level of the hole. Be sure and use the correct fluid, whether it be transmission fluid or lube.
Check the linkage from the gear selector (shifter) to the transmission. It may have come loose. If it's intact, check your transmission fluid level. If this doesn't fix the problem, then you'll have to have it towed to the shop.
The 1989 Mitsubishi transmission fluid tank can be found on the bottom of the transmission. The transmission fluid tank is known as the transmission fluid pan.
most have drain plug on side of transmission
check the transmission fluid first
Under the car on the upper side of the transmission. There you will find a plug. Remove it. If fluid comes out you are full. If you stick you finger in the hole and can feel fluid, you are fine. If not, add the proper lube as outlined in your owner's manual.
