How do you change the Manual Trans fluid in an 04 cavalier LS Sport. is there a drain plug or what? also where is the fill hole/tube and how much fluid do they take?
Thanks
There is a drain plug on the side of the transmission, you can only access it from underneath the car, it's on the driver's side.

thank you....where do you fill it at? also is there a filter that needs to be changed on that as well?
changing trans fluid on an 04? i thought you only changed trans fluid once you hit 90,000 miles and up?
You can fill from two places. From inside the engine compartment, way down where the transmission is, there is a small plastic cap with a picture of a gear on it. You will need a crazy long funnel. Or, there is a second plug above the first. To fill from here, you need a way to pump in or inject the fluid (plastic squeeze bottle w/ a nozzle). The upper drain also acts as a fill indicator- keep filling until it comes out that hole, and its full.
