How do I add and check the transmission fluid on a 1993 Ford Tempo?

I have a 93' Ford Tempo that changes gear weird and takes time to change when first starting up. I just bought this car and it's been sitting for about two years. Checked fluid and it's reallly low, so about how many quarts will I need on average to get it running right?

Just spring for the gallon jug and you should be fine--pour it in a quart at a time and check the dipstick after you give each quart a while to settle in. Also, don't forget that when you check on the trans fluid level it should be with the engine warm. I don't have a tempo, but on most cars the tube that holds the dipstick is also the fill tube--use a funnel and pour it there.
