Can you fill the gearbox(manual) with tranny fluid through the shifter location when the gear lever is removed? Like when you are changing the shifter bushing --Tranny is a GXL. any help would be greatful

But no, you cannot fill it through the shifter opening.

 

Thanks Aaron Cake, the info came in handy I will changing the fluid this weekend

 

i dont think there is even a drain plug for the shift linkage area, you have to get a little hand pump or a turkey baster and suck it out. =\

 

There is a plate on the passenger side of the linkage area!! If u can get to it with out dropping the tranny, it works very well!! I haven't tried it with tranny in car though!!!

There's no point trying to fill the shifter box with fluid. If you do, all you'll succeed in doing is creating a huge mess under the car when it leaks out of the shifter boot. Grease up the shifter ball with thick grease, and spray some lithium grease onto the linkages.
