You've got to suck all the old lube out through the fill hole on the side of the differential. Use a vacuum pump device and get as much out as you can. Then fill it up with synthetic gear lube or regular gear lube with the anti-slip additive.

I just did my '92. I bought a "suction gun" at Pep Boys. The hose was pretty think, but I was able to push it down past the gears so it worked great and got just about all the old oil out. I then used the suction gun to refill it.

I'll have to bring home the digital camera. It's a CE 6 Speed. Bose Gold, Elcectronic Air, Sport Seats. I bought the car in Dallas last weekend. It was at a used car lot. Prior to being on the lot it was one owner and local to Dallas.
No modifications other than the removal of the MAF screen. I'll be changing for a 160 thermostat and bypassing the throttle body "heat exchanger" this weekend in addition to changing all the fluids.
I can't believe they didn't put in a drain plug. Must have saved the better part of .25 per car.
