    Okay so here's the deal I, being the very wise 19 year old that I am have accidentally drained my transmission fluid from the pan (3-4) quarts is my guess, I need some emergency help asap in trying to find where I'm supposed to fill the fluid into. Any help is appreciated!!!

    I believe there’s a fill port on the side of the tranny, but someone with a 2006 5-speed will have to chime in on this matter.

    if you knew exactly how much you drained, you could measure this exact amount of new Toyota transmission fluid and refill.
