no trans dipstick. you'll have to unscrew the fill bolt ( it's the one above the lower DRAIN bolt ). if you have enough trans fluid already in, it'll start seeping out from the fill bolt as soon as you open it enough. if not, put your finger in and see how far below the fill hole the fluid is. oh yeah, make sure the car is level.
1. drain the gear box
2. put the drain plug back in
3. pick up 1 or 2 bottles of pennzoil syncromesh and a pump nozzle with a hose attachment
4. remove the fill plug
5. start pumping in the syncromesh you bought
6. when the fluid starts to seep out of the fill hole in a laminar style (steady, unbroken stream) put the fill plug back in ( no hurry, you don't want to cross thread it back in ).
you're done.

you can also fill the tranny if you take out the shifter...
but id say try the fill bolt first.
