Manual transmissions take a heavier gear oil instead of transmission fluid which is mainly used in automatic transmissions. Go to any auto parts store, ask someone to help you select the right one.
If it has a manual transmission, check the clutch start switch on the clutch pedal support. If it has an automatic transmission it could be the transmission range sensor mounted on top of the transmission right side of the engine. In either case it could be the ignition switch (this is the switch you put the key in to start the car).
All ZX2 transmissions will work no matter what year. If you are trying to use a sedan transmission, it is possible with some modification. The sedan transmission has one threaded hole for the starter that will need to be drilled out. There are, I think, three bolt holes for the bell housing that won't line up but that isn't a problem. Otherwise, it fits just fine. The gearing is taller in the sedan and you'll notice the car won't accelerate as fast but your gas mileage should get better.
If it is a manual transmission you will have to removed the speed sensor from the transmission. Fluid should be at or near the top of the gear on the sensor.
You can use-
Motorcraft MERCON Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission
Fluid XT-2-QDX
MERCON®
Alternative Transaxle Fluid - SAE 75W90 Gear Oil
F32Z-19C547-MA
API GL-4 You are seeing that right, one instance they call for 75W90 and the other it is ATF. It is ok to run either, 75W90 will give you smoother shifts and less noise.
This transmission is filled through the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) hole.
