Transmission oil???
Sup guys? I was wondering from where you fill up the manual transmission with transmission oil. And what kind of transmission oil it has to be used? And how you do it? The car is 1988 Ford Festiva L.
Thank you!
Thank you!

You need to fill it by the speed sensor and I use 75w90 full syntec in mine I think it is 2.8 quart.
BPT, G5M-R, BP26 Exintake swap + Fidanza cam gear, NSRT4 FMIC + 2.5" piping, HKS SSQV BOV, Exedy clutch, 3" downpipe + 2" all the way back, Aspire brake swap, KYB GR-2 & FMS coil spring , FMS EURO body kit + Carbon fiber hood, Falcon RTX 15X6½ + Toyo proxes T1R 195/45R15 -

My 1988L owners manual capacity chart says 2.6 US quarts. Makes no reference to type of fluid used.
I used what Maxtiva said, and she did fine. Just make sure you don't overfill it.
