I have an 89 corolla gts and i just changed the cv joints. When i changed them some gear oil came out. I was wondering where do you check that at.......or where do you fill it.....I'm guessing it has a fill plug somewhere but i don't know where. I have a book for my car but it only has stuff about an automatic transmission, and i have a manual.....Please Help!!!

the drain plug is down low on the differential. the fill plug is up on the transmission facing forwards. just remove the fill plug and fill with gear oil until it reaches the bottom of the fill plug hole. both plugs requre a 24mm wrench.

no problem. sorry i wasn't faster. just did a clutch swap on mine so i learned a few things. like the thermostat is nowhere near the block. and that the clutch master is a real PITA to swap out. and the clutch lines don't lend themselves easily to bleeding out air bubbles. too many sharp turns trap them up pretty bad. but i do love this ACT stage 1 clutch.
