The manual transmission in an Escort is a Mazda built unit. Like most Mazda manual trannies, it uses Mercon or Dexron fluid, which is a very common, generic automatic Transmission Fluid. It's often sold as "multi purpose" atf.

On most models, the fluid is added through the speedometer cable hole; the speedometer cable and gear have to be removed to fill it. You remove a single small bolt, and then you should be able to pull the cable and gear out of the top of the transmission. Often it is stuck.


The speedometer gear can be used as a dipstick for the fluid level - it should touch but not completely cover the gear.
