Where do you put manual transmission fluid in a 1996 Camaro?

The 1996 Camaro's manual transmission fluid fill location depends on the specific transmission it has. There wasn't just one type used in that year. You'll need to identify your transmission type (e.g., T-5, Getrag 260, etc.) This information is usually found:

* On a sticker inside the driver's side doorjamb.

* On a plate on the engine or transmission itself.

* In your owner's manual. (If you still have it!)

Once you know the transmission type, you can find diagrams and specific instructions online (many forums and repair manuals are available) or consult a repair manual specific to your Camaro's year and transmission.

Generally speaking, the fill plug for a manual transmission is usually on the side of the transmission, often near the top. It's a separate plug from the drain plug, which is located lower down. The fill plug will often be slightly smaller than the drain plug and may require a special socket, sometimes a hex or Allen wrench.

Important Note: Do not attempt to refill your transmission without first properly identifying the transmission type. Incorrect fluid type or overfilling can seriously damage your transmission. If you are unsure, take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic.
