It depends on what somebody would charge cheap. Normally I'll tell a guy I'd help and he'd knock some money off. That's how I did with my exhaust (he had a lift)

I was looking at the Royal Purple they have it at the local speedshop here. What weight should i get and how many quarts will it take. How hard is it to change the fluid in a manual transmisison.

if i remember correctly there should be a plug on the side of the tranny that you take out then you can pump the new fluid in. to drain it id just take out the driveshaft and jack up the front and let the fluid run out.

Recommend = Amsoil
How Much = Til its full

Pull the drain plug (could be the lowest tail shaft bolt or a pipe plug on the bottom), let 'er drain good. Insert plug. Remove fill plug. Fill 'er up. Go Play.

No, you have a drain plug and a fill plug... Both located on the passenger side of the tranny... Jack up the car and crawl under there. You'll see them.

I used RP synchromax...
