How do you add transmission fluid to 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 cummins diesel 5.9 5 speed?

The 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins with a 5-speed manual transmission does not have a transmission dipstick and doesn't require regular fluid checks or top-offs like an automatic transmission. These transmissions are generally filled for life at the factory.

Therefore, you should not attempt to add transmission fluid. If you believe there's a problem with your transmission (leaking, shifting issues, noises, etc.), take it to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair. Adding fluid to a manual transmission that's already full can cause serious damage. The transmission case is sealed and overfilling will create excessive pressure and potentially damage seals or bearings.
