Where is the manual transaxle fluid fill plug for a 1993 Escort?

Answer 1

There is no actual "plug". After draining the manual transaxle by unscrewing the bottom drain plug. Put the drain plug back in, then take out the speedometer sensor. There is a 10mm bolt that holds a bracket. Remove bolt and bracket and lift off sensor and speedometer shaft housing. Then remove the aluminum housing that contains the speedometer gear. It may require using a chisel. If you are lucky you won't destroy it by taking it out. Good luck! There is a stamp on the transmission housing describing where the fluid level should be.
