is it a manual or an auto?

For a auto you put it int the dipstick hole, which is located right by the firewall in the center of the engine bay (use atf)

If its a manual, theres a plug on the side of the transmission you have to remove then use a pump to get the gear oil inside. Do this till the fluid is level with the filler hole. Most people usually like redline mt-90 for the manual tranny. makes shifting really nice and smooth

u must be physically under the car, and the bolt is a large square headed thing just beside your reverse lights indicater plug. Using a rear end differential bottle pump, u can pump the tranny full of lsd oil, fill it until it actually runs out from being too full, clog it with ur finger and throw the plug back into it.

the tranny doesnt need LSD oil, its not a honda LOL

but yeah, I swear by redline MT-90, but for all I know it might have a lsd additive so it can be used in FWD stuff too
