how to add trans fluid

ok. my a/t is on its last legs, i herd that if you flush the trans you will get a little bit more life. i found the drain plug. but how do i refill the trans? dipstick tube? I also herd that if i changed my a/t fluid with every oil change i might have a fighting chance to save the transmission.

thanks. o1 cl-s 74000 miles

you'll need to fill the tranny thru the tranny filler plug. Its where the oil jet kit is, if you have one.

dont get a flush, that will mess up your tranny. only do fluid changes.

Thanks ALot.. Unfortunatly I have ALOT of expireance with the transmission..
And having alot of expirance is not a good thing.. I changed fluid 4 or 5 diff times replaced soleniods twice and spent alot of time on these boards reading transmission threads.. So if anyone has any questions feel free to ask!!
