Where do you fill tramission fuild on a 88' Mazda b2200?

Answer 1

I will assume you have a manual transmission.Next get under your truck and look on the lhs and there will be a square plug on the side towards the engine.Remove this plug,and the drain plug is on the bottom,metric in size cannot recall the specific like 21mm or 23mm socket.So 1st step remove drain plug on transmission and (suggest driving truck) for 5-10 minutes to heat oil up,drains quicker.Now once fluid is drained,reinstall drain plug,and using a long tube with a long funnel put the tube into the fill hole,then slide funnel into tube(about 12-18inches on tube length) is good.A long funnel is about the same.This funnel will be sticking up inside the engine bay driver side right at the firewall with the hood open to fill!Now put at least 1 quart of gear oil in and remove tube end,and see if it runs over or you can feel the fluid with your finger.These trans hold aprox 1.5 to 2.0 quarts.Just add fluid and keep checking.You do not want to overfill so a good drip over the fill hole,or feeling the fluid with AT least 1.5 quarts is good.Just make sure it is full,and NO more than 2quarts.I use GL 4/5 75w90 gear oil and yes 80w90 is fine.The rear axle uses the same grade and coastal is the brand I use sold at advance auto or auto zone.In short funnel is filled w/hood open,drvr side and tried to get this all straight and make sense.
