1997 LS 400 Manual Needed. Anyone Have Links?

[MikeyMystery]

Hey guys. Just purchased a 1997 LS 400 and it's seen better days. It's leaking coolant pretty badly and I need to know what all the hoses are so I can start replacing the ones that I know are bad. It's also got a Heater Control Valve that's been broken off so I'll probably have to replace that first. Basically I need a manual like a Haynes or a Chiltons but I'm a cheapskate and was hoping someone might know where to get the PDF version of the manual.  If not links to the manual could anyone give me pictures of the pages I need just to show me what exactly the parts are called I need to replace. This might be a stupid question also but it's low on Automatic Transmission Fluid and I wasn't sure if I can add it by pouring it directly into the place the dipstick is held. I can't find an opening to add it besides that and I know sometimes adding transmission fluid isn't as easy as topping off your oil or coolant. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks guys.

Sign up for a 1 day account and download the whole repair manual. It only costs $15 for the day.

Yes, pour trans fluid directly into the dipstick pipe, whatever its name is.

Any idea how much trans fluid it needs assuming I drain the remaining trans fluid out?

If you're draining the transmission from its oil pan, one gallon or so of ATF will fill it back up.  Be sure to use only fluid that meets T-IV/3309 specification and follow the right procedure to check it.
