I didn't see a how to for changing the transmission fluid on a manual 1997 tranny, anybody?

 

take lower drain plug out, let drain.
replace lower drain plug.
Remove side plug.
Fill with your choice tranny gear oil. (make sure it's 75W-90 API GL-4 ONLY)
*Redline or Amsoil are your best bet.
*takes about 4.5 quarts for manual trannies
Replace side plug.

 

By side plug you're mean the plug to re-fill the tranny? I have a manual tranny ,What do I use to remove side plug? What kind of socket

 

You have to stick the actual wrench in the slot not a socket for the fill plug on the side. i think its a 1/2 inch drive. BTW there is a how-to in the fluids and lube section.

 

Too much hassle take it to goodyear they'll do it for 50 bucks (at least around here) which is a pretty sweet deal.

 

Konak85 is right, the side plug just unscrews by means of a 1/2 square drive. No socket needed. The bottom plug is usually the same way, and if not, it's a big square that you can get an adjustable wrench on.

 

thanks guys. I got it now. Here it's around $65-70 to change your tranny fluid.
