what is the best way to go about adding tranny fluid? I have a 3 speed manual on a 54 with a 235. There is a drain plug on the bottom and it looks like a level indication plug on the side. Is that where I fill it at? If i have a blown rear seal will i be able to tell? Will there be oil in the tranny fluid?

Yes, fill the transmission through the side.

If the engine rear seal is leaking, you will see fluid behind the engine, usually dripping out from the pan at the bottom of the clutch housing.

Some might say that if you are not leaking any fluid near the rear of the engine, you might be out of fluid.
