R-design trim. I need to drain and fill the ATF. Can you tell me where the fill plug is? And the type of fluid and capacity recommended for it?

Hi,

If you are adding transmission fluid, you need to remove the air filter box to access the fill port.

I attached directions below for checking the level. The procedure includes adding fluid and what to remove.

Take a look through them and let me know if this helps.

Take care,
