Use Redline MTL or the 75W90 gear lube. IT works. Drain all your fluid through the bottom. Put the plug back in, not too tight. Add fluid until it starts to run out of the fill hole, its in the side of the tranny. Put plug back in. 20 minute job, total. You'll need almost a little over 2 quarts if I remember correctly.

how did you guys get under the car to do this, anyway?
I don't want to jack up only one part, be it the front, back, or one side, because it'll result in an improper amount of fluid.
What other options do I have? I don't have enough jackstands to put the whole car up, either...

If jacking the car on one side or in front only you should not fill till you feel fluid at the fill hole. You are correct. you will most likely have too much in it doing it that way. Do what 1987Rx7guy recommends.
