I accidently drained the transmission fluid from my 1995 ford aspire and now I can not find out where to add more transmission fluid. I read a repair guide for the car, and the owners manual and it says it should be infront of the driver, but I can not find where to add more, does anyone know anything about this?

There is no dipstick that I can find anywhere, we have had 4 people look at it so far.

Crawl underneath the car on the drivers side, and on the side of the tranny case there is a plug that you insert your 1/2inch ratchet into and unscrew. Then you get a pump and pump the tranny oil into the case until it starts leaking back through the plug hole. Put the plug back in, tighten and you are done. There is NO dipstick in a manual transmission.

GOOD LORD! Every single answer here is completely wrong!
Okay first: yes, you DO put ATF in the thing, That heavy gear oil would be a disaster. I am a BMW master Technician and have 464,000 miles on my 95 Aspire- believe me.
Second: there is NO transmission dipstick TUBE
Lastly, YES, there is a dipstick of sorts, but it's inside the transmission. Driver's side, on the firewall, the speedometer drive cable comes out through a grommet and arcs downward where it terminates into the top of the transmission. There is an aluminum knurled nut at the bottom of the cable (that also has a hex fitting so you can put a wrench on it if necessary). There is also a 10mm bolt screwed into the case as a backup. Remove the bolt and unscrew the knurled nut. Pull up on the small assembly. It is the speedometer drive gear, cylindrical, with two o-rings on the shaft.
Cast into the assembly, there is a small flat area (maybe 30mm tall) with a 'full' mark embossed in it. No, it doesn't say "full" on it- it's just a mark, but it's rather obvious when you see it. The speedo drive gear itself is plastic, and should be dripping with ATF.
Wipe it off and reinsert it, then remove it again and check the level. YOu need a long skinny funnel to fill it. And don't OVER fill it. Take your time.
Good grief these people on here posting bogus answers I swear

You pour it down the dipstick tube, make sure it is the tube for the transmission fluid and not the tube for the engine oil.

I refuse to assert it somewhat is a peice of junk because of the fact my pea ideas is programmed to hate eastern autos. all and sundry has their opinion, and that i'm unable to bypass provide human beings a thumbs down for giving their honest opinion and asserting the concentration is a outstanding motor vehicle.....
