OK im no dummy but... where is the oil filler plug for the manual trans on a 2002 5 speed. Even the ford dealers are not sure, if you can beleive that. Any help would be great, thanks
On the front of the transaxle facing the bumper there is a hex keyed plug. The drain is located on the axle side. If you are looking at the car from the passenger side, the drain is right there.
they both look like drain plugs, there isn't a fill on the top of the transaxle. The plug facing the passenger side is the drain, it's slightly recessed, the plug facing the front bumper of the car is the fill. It's the more obvious one.
Thank you my friend I finally found it. Ive been looking for that damn thing for 20,000 miles. Ill be pouring some redline in this weekend. Thanks again.
I've found a valuable tool for this job is a turkey baster. No kiddin'. It's an 8-10" plastic tube with a squeeze bulb on the end. You can use it to suck up the oil, then "inject" it into the tranny. You can find one at your local supermarket for a couple of bucks.

O K thanks. I was told a heavy duty windshield washer pump works also, althought I havn't tried it. I couldn't agree more on your fast lane comment, very good.
