Hey fellas we were changing the clutch fork in my car and the tranny fluid came spilling out. All of it. How do I refill it? Its a V8 89 Iroc, manual tranny.

Thanks guys!!!

 

There is a screw-in plug on the side of the tranny (driver's side, I think). It's been a LONG time since I messed with a T5 so exactly where is...... um...... well, I can't honestly remember right now.

Good luck trying to "pour" it in since there is no room to turn the bottle upside-down in the tranny tunnel. Best bet is to get one of those screw-on pumps that attaches to the bottle and run a hose up to the hole.

 

DO NOT REMOVE A PLUG FROM DRIVERS SIDE , fill & drain plug are on the passenger side . mess with the one on drivers side & mess up internal gears . good luck .

 

There are 2 plugs on the pass side. Of course the top is for filling and the lower is for draining.

I rigged up a bottle cap to easily fill the tranny. Cut 2 holes in the cap that will be a tight fit for cheap 5/16" vinyl hose. Stick one hose end into the first hole of the bottle down to the bottom. Stick the other end of same hose into the top fill hole of tranny. Stick a different short piece of hose into the other hole so that is stays above the level of the fluid in the bottle. Hit that line with compressed air (slowly) and 90% of the fluid in the bottle will shoot into the tranny.

 

I just take off the shifter and fill it from there with the fill plug undone

 

I second the hose attached to a cut open old gear lube bottle, hung in the engine compartment.....gravity feed.....top plug on passenger side....My T-5 called for Dextron

 

thanks fellas
