[s-cars] fluids maintenance

[Sean Douglas]

The trans and front torsen share the same fluid.

The fill plug on the transmission is just forward of the axle flange on the
drivers side. I think it's a 17 mm hex socket.

When I filled mine up, I used a piece of tygon tubing feed from above
through the engine bay. This works well unless you have one of those hand
pumps.

Also, make sure you loosen the fill plug first, it would be a bummer to
drain the fluid and not be able to fill it.

S8 torsen? Do you mean V8? I'd change the fluid if you don't know what's in
there or when it was done.
