On a 2000 accent with a 4 cyl. 5 speed. Car has 83k miles on her. Just bought last week. What kind and how much gear oil to use? How hard is this to do? Thanks.

Fill with 75W85 or 90 GL4, fill till level with the filler plug (+-2.5 liter). Easiest way to fill is, to remove the speedo cable drive, and fill through the hole.
