    If you have a manual transmission, there isn't one. The filler plug is on the side of the transmission and the drain plug is on the bottom. I have never had an automatic Toyota so I can't help you there.

    What's an easy way to fill it on the manual trans? Cause I've done it once an it took hours only way we could think of was to use these rubber lines and pour it down tht then have it run to the hole

    You buy a hand pump that mounts to the bottle of oil and pump it in the fill hole on the side until it runs out. The pumps are like $7 and reusable.

    Or you could also remove the shifter unit and fill from the top. I found it's the best and easiest way to fill after draining. Just remove the carpet from around the shifter and take off the screws holding on the bezel for the boot. Then you can acess the 6 12mm bolts holding on the shifter assembly. I fill until the drain plug starts over flowing, then cap it up and fill about a few more pumps to top off. Way eaiser than trying to pump from the bottom

    I hope you mean until the fill plug starts flowing. The drain plug is on the bottom.

    Pull the shifter out, pour in gear lube till it spills out the filler hole. This will give you a chance to check your shift knuckle as well
