Purchased 3 qt. of Redline off of amazon along with a hand pump. Anybody out there familiar with changing transmission fluid on the 5th gen celi? I have a 1990 gt. Pretty sure I have located the drain plug but not sure where the fill is.

well found the drain but not the fill. i took pics but ill have to post later. lost a little bit of fluid out of the drain and now have to head to work. hope it doesn't ruin things. i have the redline and bottle pump so all i need is to know where to put it lol. there are many different bolts in all shapes and sizes all over the trans so maybe someone with a 1990 celiac gt manual 2.2L can help me out with some pictures??? its kind of an emergency now to get this done since i will be running low on the fluid thats currently in there. :/

i would post a pic but not sure how to, but anyway,s turns out the other bolt i didn't mention i was tugging on, suspecting it might be the filler, will not come off for anything. not for vice grips or anything. I'm tried putting a socket on it and taping the handle and that would work. taking it to the shop tomorrow morning. said they would do it for 35$$ i don't want to strip it any further
