there are two plugs on the side of the tranny that look like a 3/8" square. the bottom one is the drain plug the top one is the fill plug. you'll need a suction gun to fill it and a 3/8' ratchet to remove the plugs. drain it, replace lower plug remove upper plug. suck the tranny fluid from thr bottle and place the tube in the upper hole, repeat untill fluid runs out of the hole, replace plug. should take dexron mercon 4 atf but check your owners mannual first.

True, do NOT use reg gear oil. Ford stopped using that in the early '90s. Use ATF- if you aren't sure what exact kind I'm pretty sure the guys at the auto parts stores can look that up for you.
