I am changing the tranny fluid and the rearend fluid and was wondering what type i should use and how much i need. I have an 80 SA with a 5 speed.

'84-12A-GSL

I just changed my tranny fluid, and it used about 2 and 1/4 1 liter bottles. so about 2 and 1/4 liters. I used a semi synthetic SAE 75W90. I plan on doing the diff aswell, Im also curious as to how much it takes.

Fluid specs and quantities can be found in the FSM.

'84-12A-GSL

according to the FSM, It only takes 1.7L..I put in a little over 2. I just kept filling it untill it started to flow back out of the hole.

A note about the drain and fill PLUGS: these are tapered, so over-torquing will actually spread the thread-hole wider, so go easy on tightening

Tip: Remove the FILL plug BEFORE the DRAIN plug. This applies to both the tranny and the rear end.

Yes, you read that correctly...

I tried to change the rear diff oil in my mother's truck. Drained it and couldn't get the damn fill plug out. The bolt was rusted in and rounded off... I had to remove the axle, turn it upside down, fill it through the drain, then put the axle back in. Turned a 30 minute job into a weekend job.

I bought my son his first car, 1987 Mazda RX7 non turbo. We just put the tranny back in after doing a new clutch job. My son left his manual at school and I am trying to fill the tranny back up with fluid.
My question is, I see the drain plug, then above that on the side the check plug. When I feel around for the fill plug (towards the top drivers side of the tranny), I feel two plugs. One right above the other, so, I tried a 14 mm open end wrench (someone said it was 14 mm I think) and as it turns out, feels like both are 14 MM.
I am unsure which is the fill plug. The two plugs are about 1/2" or so apart, very close to each other. The top one seems to be in a raised cast round area and the other (lower of the two) flush mounted.
I seem to have seen somewhere on the forums that someone said do not remove the recessed or countersunk , or something like that .. plug

So, which plug to I pull to fill the tranny

thanx

the check plug is the one you would use to fill it
