Second question

I was trying to check the transmission fluid and i understand it has to go to the top line. I didnt see any lines could someone point out the right place to me?

Also it smells alot like gear oil i have been reading to put ATF in it. Being that i am reaching 180000 here by the end of the month I would like to know what your opinions are on what to put in it

On a completely unrelated topic, I HEARD ERICAS HEART BEAT AND IT WAS THE COOLEST THING EVER!!!!!!!!! A friend of mine showed me the screwdriver trick!

the lines are on the end of your speedo cable

[Chobobulous]

oh so the case is needs to be full full then? it went about 3/4 up on the speedo gear i showed you.

Third question: how do I post the photos? (copy the IMG code)

[perucho]

By the way, I can see the level mark on the speedo gear shaft.

roadkyll said on the end of the speedo cable and you said on the gear....

It's supposed to be up to the tips of those protrusions but I just fill mine to within an inch of the top. That bend in the sheet metal piece is nothing.

[Chobobulous]

ok thanks, im just trying to figure out where all this gunk came from... oil is fine brake fluid is fine the transmission fluid may be a little load but thats still a lot of crap.

[roadkyll]

i was told the end of the cable but that mark on the gear housing looks like its in about the right spot

roadkyll said on the end of the speedo cable and you said on the gear....

I have no idea how he measures the tranny fluid with the speedo cable. Maybe he can enlighten us.

same

I have the same question where to fill to and what fluid do u use in the manual tranny

[denguy]

I just keep the tranny fluid about an inch from top of the speedo hole, kind of a pain dipping the speedo gear in and out to check the marks which are about an inch from the top surface of the trans.

This picture is the correct way. Or you can drain an E series & put exactly 80 fluid oz in. I've done this three times now & its spot on everytime. No more pulling the plug & trying to read fluid thats almost invisible. 80 oz.....

fluid

What type of tranny oil for a manual trans
