ok i just got my tranny in from shep racing, its installed and i need to put oil in the tranny were do i input?, and how do i know if i need more?? i have 3 quarts of 80/90 lucas heavy duty oil and 1 quart of 80/90 valvoline synth blend, there are 2 bolts on the tranny one that says oil on the side of the tranny and one bolt that says nothing on the top of the tranny... any help would be greatly appreciated, if this sounds retarded to you please share your opinion its my first tranny job. AND DONT WANT TO MESS ANYTHING UP :D , just bieng aware of any mistake thats all..
 
There should be one on the bottom, which is the drain plug. You can use the one on the side if you like, but it can be pain to get fluid into. The one on the top is the easiest to get he fluid in, if you use a funnel and piece of hose. Use the fluid specs in the shop manual, or however much shep says to put in. Put that amount into the tranny from the top, then take the bolt on the side off. If some fluid leaks out the side bolt, or you can stick your pinky in the hole and feel fluid, you're good to go.
 
Ok, i got evrything done and i drove the car but it feels like its going to fall apart i checked evrying and it looks all good, and when i take of i slow i get a horrible vibration but then again i have two motor mounts that need changing..
