should be a bolt...
there should be a square bolt on the side of the transmission where you can put the gear oil in...i believe it's on the driver side of the trans. i had to get a hand pump in order to fill it up.

i think the weight is 75w-90...it's the most common one. ime, you can really feel the difference when you shift between dino and synthetic gear oil.

If you can't get of afford synthetic
Make sure you use GL4, not GL5. The Sulfate in GL5, I've read, does a bad number on your syncro's.
If you do go Synthetic, absolutly go Red Line or Royal Purple. The Valvoline or Mobil stuff is also bad for your syncro's. I learned that the hard way several sets of syncro's ago.
Icemark is a great reference on this subject.
