watch out how much fluid you put in. If you put in too much, it will ooze out of the seals. The correct amount is NOT until it starts to come out of the fill hole! It is just shy of that by something like 1cm. Read the book. Oh yeah, this is for the 1984 manual tranny- it may be different for older/newer/auto boxes. Cheers Matthew
