Can any one help me to locate where i can add more transmission fluid to my Eclipse gt 2001 5 speed and also when do i know if its full?

Thanks

please don't put new questions in old threads

you can't check it. there is a fill plug on the top or the side of the transmission. if it is on the side, it is full when it starts coming back out. if not, then check later on.

second, manual transmissions don't have a dipstick, so you have to wing it.

if a manual transmission isn't leaking, then you do not need fluid. you really should be ok as long as you know it isn't leaking and you change the fluid completely every 30k miles.

lastly, the manual transmissions on the v6's take an even 3 quarts. i recommend BG synchroshift or pennzoil synchromesh (the only pennzoil i actually recommend anyone use). otherwise it's just 80-90 or straight 90 gearl lube. no biggie.

I saw someone said they changed their transmission filter. I have a 02 dodge stratus coupe RT 3.0 L (yeah same as the eclipse GT), and i have seen conflicting things online about changing the filter. Can someone please email me and tell me more about it? I'd very much appreciate it.
