Trans fluid help
hello people. So I recently changed the speedo driven gear in my 86 na and I decided to empty all the fluid in the extension housing before I realized that it is separate from the main part of the trans. Now I can't re fill it with new fluid. I've tried going through the shifter hole thingy but that isn't connected to the extension housing either. Just bolted right on. Any help will be amazing as I really wanna get the car running again. Thanks for reading!!!

what are you talking about? the n/a has 1 drain plug and 1 fill plug.

the turbo has 2 drain plugs and 2 fill plugs.

1+1=2

so I don't have to worry about the whole separation thing? They're not fully separated?

Nope, just as stated above, make certain car level then fill until it overflows.
Turbo different.
