You didn't say what kind of tranny you have...


If it's a 2WD manual, Redline MT90 is really good IMHO.


Just make sure you can remove the fill plug before you drain the old
fluid out.  This 17mm allen socket tool makes it real easy to get
plug out..  http://tinyurl.com/fy33g


One way to get new fluid in is to use a long flexible hose with
funnel and bring it out through the wheel well.  Have a helper slowly
pour oil into the funnel while you hold the other end of the hose on
the tranny fill hole....or get a siphon pump but long hose with
helper is probably easier.
