theres 2 plugs on the passanger side of the tranny, the top one is to check, the fluid should be level with the botum of the plug threads, and the botum plug is to drain it.

ORIGINAL: RawGtPower

I know this sounds stupid, but how do i do that on a 5 speed. Also, how would i go about changing the fluids?

Ive had the car for a year now and the guy said he had a stage 2 racing clutch installed into it. I believe it because the pedal is very stiff when engaging. As for free play, not much

its never done this before though, and the only time it doesnt grind gears, is when i actually do ride the clutch. If i drive it normally now, then its just going to grind every gear i go into.
