I bought some Lucas gear oil for my car, get under, and I could not find anything that looked like a drain plug. Ive done this change before in many Hondas and Toyotas and you can always tell.
Does anyone know which one is the Drain Plug and which one is the Fill Plug??
And if you have a pic it would be really appreciated. Thanks.

IIRC the drain plug looks like the head of a ratchet with out a socket on it.
It might be the 1/2" Ratchet size. It's been a while, but I think thats how I did it.
Use the ratchet and unscrew the plug and so forth.

look for two plugs on the side of the transmission, the lower one is to drain and the upper one is to fill.

the drain plug is DIRECTLY on the bottom, and yes it is a hole that a 1/2 inch ratchet (without a socket) fits into. The fill plug is on the passenger side (i think) but it is easier to fill through the shifter.

The fill plug is on the driver side on S13's and it takes a wrench (Not sure which size ) like ryguy said it's easier to fill through the shifter though

you wanna use an adjustable wrench on the fill plug, a regular wrench will ruin your day.

its easier to fill though the shifter


and the drain plug is a sqaure female bolt that requires a 1/2 drive breaker bar to get open if it has not been opened in a long time.

make sure its not sythetic gear oil, and if its Gl 3 or 4 its better but dont worry about the GL5 myth i busted that.

well royal purple in such is fine . but dont use vavoline type synthetics. they contain alot of additives and like adding syn oil to a high milage motor, seals with be exposed and things will break down.
