Transmission question

The guy I bought my FC from was showing around the engine so Id know where everything is and could change oil when I asked him where transmission fluid goes he said it doesnt use transmission fluid, something about sealed transmission now Im confused as ****

I have an S5, 1990 RX-7 GTU, can anyone help me out or am I the wrong person here?

You remove a bolt in the transmission, from beneath the car, to check and fill the fluid, and another bolt from below to drain it. It is not sealed.

Check the FSM (at FC3s.org) for more information, and pictures.

Redline Synthetic MT90. You'll need 3 quarts.
