Transmission generally takes a bit less than two quarts, Use 75/90 gear lube in that (in very cold climates you can add a small amount of automatic trans fluid to keep it flowing on cold starts) Transfer case takes a bit over one quart and takes dextron mercon 3. When filling either, fluid is full when on a level surface it begins to come out of the fill hole while filling. When changing either, always make sure you can open the fill plug before draining so you know you can replace what you removed.
What you are looking at is likely a temp sensor. why not remove it with an open end wrench? If you can find the plug on the wire, then you can use a box wrench. Bottom line is the fluid will drain after it's out. Before opening the drain, make sure you can open the fill port or you will be in trouble. I believe they use atf in those units. fill till it begins to run out of the fill port.
Manual Transmission The level of lubricant in the transmission should be maintained at the
filler hole on all manual transmissions. This hole is on the right
side. When you check the level in the transmission, make sure that the
vehicle is level so that you get a true reading. When you remove the
filler plug, lubricant should run out of the hole. Replace the plug
quickly for a minimum loss of lubricant. If lubricant does not run out
of the hole when the plug is removed, lubricant should be added until
it does. Replace the plug as soon as the lubricant reaches the level of
the hole.

DRAIN AND REFILL Remove the drain
plug which is at the bottom of the transmission. Allow all the
lubricant to run out before replacing the plug. Replace the case with
the correct viscosity oil. All manual transmissions use SAE 75W-90 API
quality Grade GL-5 gear lubricant. Tighten the fill hole plug to 27 ft.
lbs. (37 Nm).
I hope help you with this (rermember rated this help) Good luck.
the check/fill plug is located on the left side of the transmission possibly on the right depends on the transmission its about mid way up on the side of transmission to check remove plug and if the gear oil starts to run out just a little its fine if u want to replace the fluid drain the transmission and fill till the fluid just starts to come out of the fill/check plug sight. hope this helps with what u need to do.
Let it sit for awhile because it takes cold oil a while to leak down to fill everything. Did you get 3.5 quarts of oil out when you drained? Just add as much as you can, wait awhile, check your dipstick, and add more until you can get it all in the fill hole. With a cold engine and cold oil, it takes a little while.
Hi there.A auto parts store or a dealership service department can help you determine the type of fluid recommended for your vehicle.The fill area is also the full mark,when adding fluid to the transmission or transfercase the fluid will come out of the fill hole and thats when you will know it is full.Its hard to tell how much fluid is is needed, every vehicle is different,but I believe the transfercase is between 2-3 quarts and the standard tranny is between 4-5 quarts.Keep your receipt and whatever fluids you do not use you can return.Hope this helps.John.
pull the lower plug from the transmission, it will be on the bottom or the side on the bottom. replace the plug after draining and remove the fill plug wich is about half way up the side of the transmission. use 75w 90 gear oil in the trans.
good luck
i cant bring up the link for the plug location
