man I dont know, if the star and the "square" plug go to the same place then no your car will be fine... when I changed out my tranny I drained it with the big *** 22mm or 23mm bolt (cant remember exact size) on the bottom of the tranny, and I filled it through the hole with the "star" shaped indention in it. Just like the shop manual shows.



do you have a shop manual?

yeah....but the picture sucks. It looked to me like it was the square one. When I uncapped it I felt a liquid. It was dirty like old oil so I figured that was it. Maybe they are the same.....I don't know.
