Question Fill'er up... Where?

Where's the fill plug for the transmission (manual, 85 GS)? Maybe I'm just plain dumb and missed it when I looked for it...

And one more thing--any tips for me when I'm changing the oil (synthetic 75w90, GL5) in the transmission and rear axle?

Thanx

not for sure on the oil to use,

ask at the auto parts place

dont think it matters in the rear cause you dont have an lsd

anyway the fill plug is on the drivers side of the tranny

just hop under there and its in plain view

The fill plug is very close to the end of the starter. I used to always knock the start signal wire off when changing trans fluid and have to go back under and re-connect it

90w? From what I gather in previous posts, 75w-90 was great for my 7... Am I wrong?

multi weight is probably better, but I have run 90w with no discernable problems.
