i am getting ready to replace the shifter bushings so i am going to have the shifter out. i was wanting to replace the fluid while i was at it and wondered if i could just add fluid through shifter opening? also what type of fluid , should i go with synthetic? thanks
 
Mmmm, I think you're better off using the drain and fill plugs on the side of the trans. The drain plug is the lower of the two (obviously). To fill it back up I usually run some hose down to the fill plug and bring it up somewhere by the master cylinder and put a funnel on the end.
 
No problem.....

Theres no problem in filling your tranny through the shifter. I've done it a couple of times when rebuilding my shifter.
