[RESOLVED] Where is the oil plug for the front transaxle differential?

Where is the oil drain and fill plug for the front transaxle differential for a 5 speed manual 2g GS-T? I changed my transmission fluid plenty of times, but today it occurred to me that I never changed the diff fluid..

I don't know where it is, so can you grateful people help me?

On a FWD the diff is inside the transaxel and uses the same fluid.

I understand that, but how would you go about changing the diff fluid or is it all one unit that shares the same fluid or gear oil in this case.

It's all one unit that shares the same fluid or gear oil.

Yup. It is all one unit and shares the same fluid. Ive never heard of a transmission that has its own differential fluid separate from the rest.

Oh, I see now. I always thought that the differential sat in its own housing that was sealed off from the tranny gears etc and that it had its own supply of oil.

So, whenever you change the gear oil, it is for the transmission and the differential, for transaxles in this case.
