AnswerBrandon,
here's how you refill:
GEARBOX - DRAIN AND REFILL -
Service repair no - 44.24.02
Drain
1. Position vehicle on ramp.
2. Apply handbrake and position chocks under front and rear wheels.
3. Position container under gearbox.
4. Remove gearbox drain plug and discard sealing washer.
5. Refit drain plug using new sealing washer and tighten to 15 Nm (11 lbf.ft).
6. Remove filler/level plug and discard sealing washer.
Refill
7. Refill gearbox to bottom of filler/level plug hole with correct grade of fluid.
8. Ensure gear lever in the ’P’ position, start engine and move selector lever through all gear positions and back to ’P’ position.
9. With the engine idling, continue filling gearbox until a small thread of fluid runs from filler/level orifice.
10. Refit filler/level plug using a new sealing washer and tighten to 30 Nm (22 lbf.ft).
11. Lower vehicle.
Owner's manual does not list any dipstick for tranny fluid.
