transmission fluid change
So I kind of did a quick change and it seems there are two drain plugs and only one fill plug. What does the torx bit plug go to and is it bad to fill with fluid? I had though that it was the fill for the front part of the tranny but see most procedures say leave that plug alone.

Well I am saying that I used it as a fill along with the standard fill. Should it be alright or do I need to empty the fluid I put in that torx bit hole? Basically I found that there was maybe half a quart of oil in the trans and now it's filled with the right amount but second gear is a bit hard to get into when downshifting then it used to be.

Should be 010717121 and 081017121. A good on-line reference for parts is Jim Ellis. https://www.jimellismazdaparts.com/s...category=20236
I would call Ray Crowe for any rx7 parts. He will know exactly what you need
I believe the FSM says to install new when you change your fluid, but i don't think anyone ever does

I think the FSM says the drain plug washer should be changed. But Tom's right, they can usually be reused without problems.
If you have problems finding new, I bet both the fill and drain plugs are the same on other MAZDA cars of the 90's and available as close as the local U-PULL-IT lot.
