I don't know if the 1995 is the same , but the ( 1996 ) Ford Aspire uses Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid in the manual trans-axle ( manual transmission )
atf dexron mercon 3 is what it calls for.
The ( 1996 ) Ford Aspire Owner Guide shows that Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid is used in the automatic and manual transaxles ( transmissions )
Remove the driveshaft. Remove the shifting linkage. Unbolt the transmission from the Bell housing. Remove the transmission mount bolts. Pull the transmission backwards, to remove it.
To replace the manual transmission gear selector on a 1995 Ford Aspire, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. Next, remove the center console to access the gear selector assembly. Detach the linkage and any electrical connectors, then unscrew the selector from its mount. Install the new gear selector by reversing the steps, ensuring all connections are secure before reassembling the console and reconnecting the battery.
the aspire only featured power steering in the automatic transmission.

In a 1995 Ford Aspire, the transmission fluid is added through the transmission dipstick tube. To check or add fluid, locate the dipstick, usually marked with a colored handle, and remove it. Use a funnel to pour the appropriate type of transmission fluid into the tube, ensuring not to overfill. Always check the fluid level with the dipstick after adding to ensure it's within the recommended range.
you can remove the shifter base from the tranny and pour in through there
