Remove drain plug (1) and drain fluid.

Install drain plug and remove fill plug .

Fill transmission with 1.5 L (3.17 pts.) of Mopar® Manual Transmission Lubricant MS-9224 or any Syncromesh type fluid to the bottom of the fill plug hole.

Quick Question:
I know the drain Plug is 17mm, but it appears the fill plug is a different size.. any idea what that might be?
Thanks in advance..

Cool thanks.. I bought some 17mm screws and such for under three bucks and I went to go change it today, and before opening the drain, I was like, lemme check out the fill, lol.. And of course it didn't fit.. I didn't have a hex key big enough, so of course I searched here for a while, and no luck.. But of course,
**cue theme music** Digger the the rescue! Haha. Anyway, I guess tomorrow I'll head out and buy what I need.
Thanks, Dean.

Heyyyy, so, the Fill Plug is 14mm, and the Drain Plug is 17mm.
Autozone has a three piece set of the correct hex bolts for a 1/2 driver, for like 12 bucks. Good to have around.
