Transmission drain plug on the bottom of the tranny around the middle, fill plug on the driver side middle of the tranny case. Easier to fill with a suction type filler assembly (hard to hold the bottle of fluid on it side and get it all in the tranny with the limited room available!!) As for fluid type, I am not quite sure what tranny you have, I have an AX-15 and it take 75W-90/80W-90 gear lube. I would worry about the clutch fluid, but for reference it is just normal DOT3 brake fluid.
If it doesn't fit, you're using the wrong hammer!

thanks cuzindoug, how do you find the tranny type....and fluid for it...Is there a spot where I can check the clutch fluid. What do you recomend for plugs and wires on the 96 3.9 old body style.

To check the clutch fluid look on the driver side firewall in the engine compartment just to the left of the master cylinder. It will have hash marks on the side of the clear canister to tell you the level.
To check for tranny type, look in the glove compartment for the information tag. It will tell you tranny type among other things like body/trim/interior color codes and rear gear ratio. Then look in your vehicle manual and look at fluid type.
For plugs, our trucks seem to work the best on the cheapest plugs: Autolite 3923's
For wires, go with premium ones, I have MSD 8.5mm superconductor wires.
If it doesn't fit, you're using the wrong hammer!
