Peter won't man up and post on his own so, does the 94 havea T-5 or a T45. I'm thinking th T-45 wasnt til later, but it would be nice to have a confirmed answer

94-95 cars used a specific T-5 made for those years. They use a special bellhousing and a longer input shaft to work with the new design of the SN-95 chassis. Standard ATF is fine and you need around 3-4 quarts IIRC.

Ok, well I bought ATF and now I'm trying to open the **** thing to get the fluid in. Believe it or not it is incredibly difficult. Is there any way other than through the bolt in the side (the one that is kinda like an allen bolt, but it has 12 sides.) I've been trying to work that bolt out for a day now, and it isn't getting any easier. Any help guys?

unbolt the shifter from inside the car and pour it in there and it's 3.5 qts my owners manual says to use dextron III with mercron dont take the bolt out that has the yellow tag next to it unless you want to completely take the trany out and put all the parts back in

And now we have fluid in the car... But seats are still not bolted down. So no test drive still.

Why would anyone go through all the trouble to change the fluid and not put in a synthetic?

I spent $30 for 3 quarts of Royal Purple tranny fluid in and MAN what a difference! It actually FELT smoother.

+1 haha.

I wouldn't know what smoother is though, unless I had this stuff in first.

Hopefully doing the seat stuff in the very near future.
