Where is the fill plug on a manual transmission in 1987 Jeep Wrangler?

The fill plug location on a 1987 Jeep Wrangler's manual transmission depends on the specific transmission installed. Jeep Wranglers of that year used a variety of transmissions (e.g., T-4, T-5, etc.). There's no single universal location.

To find it, you'll need to:

1. Identify your transmission: Look for a tag or marking on the transmission itself. This will give you the specific model number.

2. Consult a repair manual: Once you know the transmission type, find a repair manual (Haynes, Chilton, or a factory service manual) specific to your Jeep Wrangler's year and transmission. The manual will have a diagram showing the location of the fill plug.

3. Look on the top and sides of the transmission: The fill plug is usually on the top or side of the transmission case, often near the top of the shift linkage. It's usually a threaded plug and might be slightly different in size and shape from other bolts.

Without knowing your specific transmission type, I cannot give you a precise location. Trying to guess could lead to you stripping a bolt or adding fluid to the wrong area. Using a repair manual is the only safe and reliable way to locate the correct fill plug.
