hey guys im gonna change my axle seal soo and i wanted to change my trans fluid. i heard redline was best but i think i have to many miles on my max i got 133,000 and i belive it have never been changed.( don't want fluid leaking etc.) i searched and found some things but not ever thing i wanted to know

thanx jeff

 

Leaking caused by switching to a synthetic at a higher mileage is not anywhere near as common in the transmission as it is in the engine.

 

o ok i was just wondering but i heard some peeps saying that it may pop out of gears. and doesn't going in that smooth. and is it just drain and fill no flush right? and is it redline MT90 4 1/2 quarts?

 

Drain and fill. I did the change at 90K miles and car shifts "like butta". I highly recommend the switch.

 

A synthetic won't cause it to pop out of gear. Just drain and fill. If you insist on Redline it's MT-90 that's best.

 

I was thinking of doing it myself ... how much do we have to put in ?

 

You're on original clutch at 133k!? Nice...

 

You should buy 5 qts. to make sure you have enough. With the car level on the ground and the fill plug open, the gear oil should drip out. That's how you know it's full.

 

ya it its a factory clutch casue im the 3rd owner casue the first owner have it for 33,000. this guy a bought it from had it until 126,000 and i asked him if it was and he said yes and it graps pretty good tho im happy

ps: whats that lil ball everyone talks about???? and poping out of 4 gear????

 

There's two bolts that look like they might the drain for the transmission. Behind them are ***** and springs that snick into the detent for some of the gears. If you remove them, the transmission will easily slide out of gear with no load on it. If you drain the fluid correctly, this will not be an issue.

 

then how do u do it correctly? so let me get this straight their are 2 drain plugs that ***** might come out? and one fill hole right?

 

There's one big fill hole, that one you can't miss. If you think you found the drain plug easily, that's not the right one. The correct one goes into the side of the tranny right next to the shift linkage. It's a PITA to get a wrench on, you'll need a 12mm closed end wrench to do it.

The other two plugs that the ***** will fall out of are very easy to get to, so they're also easy to rule out if you know what to look for.
