There's a plug about halfway up the side of the trans,or you can fill it through the shifter hole.
anyone know how much oil the w58 takes...and since the pluggs on the side of the tranny how do i change the oil
make sure the car is level, take out the side filler plug, take out your shifter assembly from inside, and pour your oil in there until it starts to dribble out the side fill hole, then put ti all back together
The way I normally change tranny oil is: remove the fill plug (the one on the side), place drain pan under the drain plug, remove drain plug. While the tranny is draining, remove the shifter, when the tranny stops draining (can take quite awhile if the oil is cold), put the drain plug back in. Pour a quart in, let it settle, then another 1/2 quart, stick finger in the fill plug, if you can feel the oil level then you're close, when it starts coming out of the fill hole then it's to the top.
Just remember to use the right weight oil, I have found living in Indiana, 80w90 is too thick and doesn't work too well when it's cold.

through the shifter hole for sure but like ^^^ make sure nothing (dirt or debris) fall in there...
yea, what everyone else said, fill it through the shifter hole, you gotta take your shifter off. thats how i did it
