It is a screw-on plug similar to those on a power mower crankcase. It is not east to access and when you find it - use care screwing it back on so as not to cross thread it. If you need to add fluid - Wally World sells a long funnel with a narrow tube, (3/8") that will help.

how about you stop at local garage and ask someone to check the transmission fluid?

the dispstick on 87 didnt have the plastic orange clip on top = you're looking for a steel thin (probably rusted) small loop.


P.S. you have a lot of catching up to do , dude!!
