On the '90 Dodge Omni 5-speed, where is the Transmission oil fill opening located ?

I cannot locate where to add or check trans oil level on the 5-speed manual transaxle of a 1990 Dodge Omni. Please be as specific and as detailed as possible. Thank you.On the '90 Dodge Omni 5-speed, where is the Transmission oil fill opening located ?
The transmission has a rubber plug (about 1'; in diameter) with a ';pull tab'; on it on the end of the trans-axle. If you turn your steering wheel all the way to the left, you should be able to look in between the front fender and the tire and see the end of the trans-axle and the plug. The rubber plug simply pulls out by hand. The correct fluid level is to the bottom of the rubber plug hole (parked on a level surface). If you need to add fluid, put it into this same hole, until the fluid begins to run back out. Then simply push the rubber plug back into the hole. IIRC, the trans-axle uses Chrysler automatic transmission fluid. HTH! Good Luck!!On the '90 Dodge Omni 5-speed, where is the Transmission oil fill opening located ?
I can't remember exactly...but all manuals have a check/fill hole, and a drain.





The check is usually about halfway up the case and is a large bolt or plug, usually the same size as the drain. On your car it will be on the backside (towards the windshield) of the case, I think, and it will probably have to be on a lift to check it.





Be certain about what you put in there...some of the FWD manuals used regular Dexron ATF instead of gear oil like older manuals.
I agree with your first answerer. There's no way to check a standard transmission for the tranny oil level. He told you where to look to see if it has any. If you find out that it does need some, don't put more than 1/4 pint.
it is a plug that screws into the side of the tranny


the only way to check it is to lift the car and use a 3/8 inch rachet and remove the plug, then you stick you finger in the hole and see if you feel oil


It's True!!! you are not expected to check the fluid level on that model your mechanic is.
