What kind of transmission fluid to use on a Saturn manual?
it really depends on what the color the fluid is in it now. The same vehicle could have a slightly different transmission model and use a different fluid. The ones I have worked on just take regular gear oil, 75w90 or 85w90. You local auto parts store should be able to give the exact details. But If you plan on keeping it I would suggest putting some red line manual transmission additive in every time the fluid is changed, should be roughly every 30k. Always add the additives first that way you don't have to gauge how much fluid to add, or have to drain some out in order to add the entire bottle.

Clean the area around the leak and replace any damaged seals or gaskets. If the leak is from the transmission pan, consider tightening the bolts or replacing the pan if it's cracked. After repairs, refill the transmission fluid to the proper level and check for leaks again.

How do you change transmission fluid in a 1996 suzuki intruder 1400?
I miss my old Intruder 1400 ... Great bike! The "transmission fluid" on a Suzuki Intruder is the normal engine oil, just as it is on most manual transmission vehicles. It uses the same oil from the crankcase reservoir, so every time you change your oil, you are also changing the transmission fluid.
Just a quick money saving tip on changing your oil on this bike: you don't need to buy the expensive motorcycle oil filter. There is a standard automobile oil filter that will fit the threading and gasket of the Intruder. Since the automotive filter has a larger volume of filtration, it will actually work better than the more expensive OEM filter on the Suzuki.

What does Automatic Transmission mean?
It means that you do not have stick shift in your car, your car shifts gears for you, you don't have to do it, so basically if you don't have a stick shift car you have an automatic transmission car.
A while ago I ordered a transmission to replace the dying (later dead) one in my 1989 B250 van. I ordered the 727 assuming a big rig like that with a 318 would have the beefier transmission. My mistake, we had a van with a 904. The 727 is 4 inches longer than the 904, has a different size torque converter, and a different sized rear spline. a few bits of linkage is different. Now we have to go out and find a shorter drive shaft that properly connects to our new 727 and a new flex plate that fits the 727's torque converter size. We will probably have to modify some linkage as well.
So I'd make sure to get the right transmission if you want an easy swap.

Where do you fill transmission fluid on a 2001 Isuzu rodeo?
On the back corner of the transmission pan towards the passenger side a little higher up on the pan is the fill plug. There are two plugs so do not open the one on the bottom because that is the drain plug. You'll need something like a siphon pump to fill into the plug hole. You can get one at walmart for under $10.
