Resolved Transmission Fluid?

[usmc0651dns]

I just bought a 97 GSX and I am currently doing the routine maintenance. I loosened two bolts on the bottom of the transmission housing that say "oil". The first one drained out maybe 10 drops and the other nothing. Does this mean that the car has NO transmission fluid or does a manual transmission not require that much fluid?

Manual transmission take 3quarts of trans fluid. The only drain plug on the trans is a 22mm-24mm ( cant remember what size) bolt on the bottem left side of the trans. Either your very low on fluid or you took out the wrong bolt!

These are the two plugs I removed. Both are 17 mm.

Those are both fill ports. The first is for the transmission and the second is for the transfer case. Look lower on both trans and t/c for drain plugs.

At least I know I can break loose the rusty fill bolts . Thanks for the info guys. I'm going to drain the fluid this weekend and get this GSX back up and maintained the way it should be.
