99 dak 4x4 3.9 ax15 manual transmission. i have a seal leaking and the trans is whining..this is the second time the seal has gone and the guy who fixed it the last time put atf back in the trans. i may be wrong but i thought the ax 15 took heavy oil rather than atf. anyways, i dont have the time to fix the seal now but i cant find the fill plug for the transmission. is there something im missing? thanks for any help.

thanks for the tip larry. i spent the better part of an hour looking all over the transmission for the fill plug and never could find what i was looking for. i was looking for the standard 3/8 plug you would find in any other vehicle. the only other idea i had was unbolting the shifter from the trans and filling it that way and resealing it with some red rtv. any thoughts? and help would be greatly appreciated.

fill plug for the ax15 is on the driver side. up towards the top on the tranny just a little forward of the shifter. hope you have some sort of pump with a hose because it's a pain to get fluid in it.
