    dod u have an automatic or manuel?

    Manuel transmission is easy. on the bottum there is a bolt and on the left side (drivers) there is a bolt in the middle..remove the drivers side first..thats to make sure u can fill it back up. then remove the bottum bolt, this will drain it. u fill it from the drivers bolt. when u see it running out of the side, reinstall bolt.

    I used 80-90W gear oil for my transmission.

    Automatic, never done it. have to look for my repair manuel..
