speed sensor location

[fien4boost]

I'm changing my manual transmission fluid. I found the drain plug. As I understand it, I'm supposed to replenish the fluid through the speed sensor hole. Where exactly is this located? Any help is much appreciated.

Nope. There's a filler cork.

Ok, I'm seriously sick of this and want to get started on it. I went to check my owner's manual to see what kind of transmission fluid to use, it seems that my owner's manual never came with the car when I bought it. So I went to autozone and the man there said the computer wouldn't tell him what kind. So I called the Mitsubishi dealer and asked the service desk and she couldn't find it anywhere WTF . I yelled at her and said "So if someone came in to get their transmission fluid changed, you wouldn't know what to put in it. That really f'n comforting." So hear I am asking the only people who give a damn about our cars. Does anyone know what kind of transmission fluid to put in a 97 GS manual transmission?

Stop by your local Autozone and pick up three quart of Pennzoil Synchromesh. It's in a yellow bottle and works very well for either turbo or N/T transmissions and you'll likely feel an increase in the smoothness of your shifting. It should run you anywhere from $4.00 to $4.50 per quart.

Happy Shifting!

Yeah what Andy said, but be prepared to dish out $6 a bottle, which is cheap compared to other syncromesh's.
