just drive it around to heat up the fluid and it drains easier.
they usually take Dextron II/III ATF (even on manual trans.).
while the fill plug is out you can test the chain by sticking
a finger in there and seeing if its semi taught, 1/2" deflection
I believe is allowed. if its really loose then plan on replacing
it soon. the chain follows top and bottom across the 2 sprocket
covers.
