Mine is on the lower part of the tank on the passenger side. If you cant find it just pop the lower hose off instead.

Maybe someone changed or modified yours...the hose idea is the "quick way" to drain the radiator...cold of course

Uh didnt know it was a '94 . Just look on the bottom of the tank on both sides. If you cant see it from the top then crawl under and have a look. Its there somewhere.

ok, i found it and it was different then any other i have seen. i had to jack it up to see it and when i seen it i had second thoughts on if that was it or not lol. i took it off it was a 16mm plastic nut. and nothing came out the radiator was gunked up really bad!


ok, i see they plugged the skinny hose coming from the cap to the reservoir and took the reservoir complete out. is that ok? its only thr radiator now.

no, manual tranny's do not have a fluid pump in them so unless someone went through the trouble of drilling and tapping the case running an inline pump and lines there is no such thing, and what i just said is crazy i dont think anyone would do that
