How do i put fluid in the transmission of a 1996 gmc sonoma 5 speed there is no dip stick
On the passenger side of the transmission, there is a fill plug and a drain plug. The fill will be the upper plug and it's the one you use to check to make sure you have the right amount of transmission fluid in your transmission.
Manual Transmission, NV3500..........2 liters
Manual Transmission, NV1500..........2.7 liters
Undo the plug with a wrench and if the transmission trickles out, your good to go. If there is no fluid trickling out, top it off and place the plug back in and tighten to (Manual Transmission NV1500 Fill Plug
17 ft/lbs) or (Manual Transmission NV3500 Fill Plug
44 ft/lbs)
Thank you for using fixya and be safe. Drain Plug 44 ft/lbs Drain Plug 27 ft/lbs
Testimonial: "thanks for your help i found the plug but it was on the driver side theres nothing on the passenger side."
Sorry my bad, your right. It's the driver's side, glad to know you checked both sides.
Be safe and thank you.

These are sealed transmissions. They are not made to have fluid added. They are only to have it changed at maintenance schedule intervals. That being said there is a plug on the trans where the fluid can be pumped in and out.
