I have a 2002 mustang GT with the stock 5 speed. I was just trying to find out the easiest way to change my transmission fluid. Thanx...

Stepman

Umm...take it to a quicky-lube place? Really, not sure about the 5 speeds but, there should be a drain plug on the bottom for draining, and a plug about 1/2 way up the side for filling. When fluid comes out the top plug, it's full. I usually pull my shift boot and run a hose thru the floor to do mine. (much older 4 speed)

... or place a hose on the end of a funnel. Run the hose down from the engine compartment into the transmission.

I like Stepman's method after a trans install. If the shifter boot is off anyways.
For preventative maintenance, just use a hose and funnel.

drain it throught the plug on the bottom.. dont even bother with the fil plug on the top of the tranny its a pita. Take ur shifter out, and pour 3.25 quarts right in the tranny.

yep. exactly how i do mine. except after i had mine rebuilt it took about 3.5 quarts.

tremec is now saying that 3.50 is to much and can actually do harm.. 3.25 is what they recommend now. I read it somewhere. tho i could be wrong, but i red it.

.....that's why I remove the top plug. This way there is NO DOUBT it's at the proper level.
