Okydokie.  It's a very simple procedure.  What I would recomend and what is
worth the money AND what I know everyone else will recomend if Redline fluid
.  The shifting in my 87 'Roc, which wasn's all that bad in the first place,
improved slightly.  What you need to do is get a 17mm allen key for the two
fluid plugs.  First, there is one plug, for filling it up, on the drivers
side of the car just underneath the green plastic cap on the end of the gear
box.  The drain plug is on the bottom rear of the trans and you can't miss
it when going under the car.  Make sure the car is on level ground and not
jacked up.  Just unscrew the plug with the allen wrench and catch the goo
with a decent pan.  Plug it back up, take a funel with a hose attached to it
and put it in the filler hole at the end of the trans and fill it until it
starts pouring out.   It's about 1.9 liters I believe.  Good luck,
