Want this question answered?
Mazda meant the transmission to be filled from a plug in the side of the transmission which is a real pain. Many Mazda owners remove the shifter and just pour it in. There is a second plug on the driver side of the transmission with a square head on it. Remove this plug and fill the transmission until fluid starts to drip from the hole, then it should be full. Make sure you're on level ground of coarse. K6 Mazdatruckin.com

Instructions on how to remove a 1994 B4000 Mazda 4 wheel drive transmission
Hmm same thing happend to me on my rx7, the first thing you have to do is try pressing down upon the gear lever and moving it out of reverse, if this process seems to do absolutely nothing for you then remove the transmission or remove the driveshaft and tow it to a shop. DO NOT TOW IN GEAR or you will be turning your engine backwards which is NOT a good thing.
None. You have to remove the pan.
Driver side on the back of the motor next to the firewall.
No, unless you want to destroy your transmission. While a RWD vehicle could simply have the driveshaft removed, a front wheel drive car doesn't have one to remove.. it uses a transaxle, and everything is internalized. Even with a manual transmission, flat towing is discourage for front wheel drive cars.
Don't tow it in park. You can remove linkage & shift to neutral from underneath or remove driveshaft by removing straps off of rear u joint.
I remove the transmission dip stick and insert a funnel to fill it right there.
Remove the transmission pan underneath and it's inside of it.
The starter is on the driver side of the transmission/flywheel connection, located on the bottom of the truck. You have to jack the truck up and get underneath it on the driver side to access it. It has 2 bolts attaching it to the transmission casing. You'll have to remove a large battery cable from the selinoid, as well as a smaller power clip cable, before it will drop out and down.
