hm. that sounds nice. actually, the big pain about changing the belt was getting that dang cover on and off. everything else was easy enough.
how bad is it to leave the cover off?

Later I'll post a picture of how to check the manual transmission fluid level. For starters it uses ATF. It is checked through the hole the speedometer cable goes through.

thanks, but.. are you doing that for me, or for the escort forum in general? i dont need the help here, im a masterful manual transmission fluid level checker. ive checked the level on my current escort about 40 times in 30,000 miles.
thats a lot, huh..
(a year and a half ago a crooked mech broke my tranny case, and i had to refill it every half hour or so for around 8 hours. and then periodically checking every 1000 miles since i JBwelded the crack shut.. it sucked. but now im really good at checking fluid level
