Rick,
Thanks for the help. I need a good location description of the drain and
fill plugs. I'm pretty sure where the drain plug is (17mm hex or allen
plug?). There's another similar plug half way up the side which may be
the fill plug similar to a Vanagons. However on my Jetta you filled the
trans through the speedometer cable hole! I also need to know the
transmission capacity. Does your '95 have the 5 speed manual? I thought
they all have the automatic.
                        Thanks, Rod in west Texas
