the rubber plug back on the side of the differential.(on the driver side of the diff)whatI do is pull that plug, then take the reverse light switch out on the top and fill it from there untill it runs out of the hole in the diff. make sure its not in reverse or it fills alot slower through that hole. it might be difficult to get to if the battery tray is in.

i remove the drivers side tire, pull the plug, and then use a funnel with a long filler tube.....works easy for me

i took this from the 1st gen faq so i woulden't have to type this

Q: What type of fluid should I use in my transmission, auto or manual?
A: For an automatic, you should use Mopar ATF+3 or 4. There are some others that are supposed to meet the type 7176 specs and are: Valvoline ATF for Chrysler, Pennzoil 7176 ATF, and Quaker State 7176 ATF. I ONLY SUGGEST MOPAR THOUGH! For a manual, you should use the semi-synthetic fluid available at the dealer, p/n 4874465. Redline fluid is a cheaper substitute and works well

Only if its low. It doesn't need to be changed on a manual tranny.
