Ok, well, sig says what I have.

In case:
1988 GXL 5sp.

Will 3 quarts of Neo be enough? FSM says 2.1 qrts? 2.6 for turbo?

Thanks guys! Almost done with flywheel swap. Replacing almost everything.

New seals, bushings, rubber boots, whatever I can.... $1200 later....

 

i just buy the gallon of gear oil and pump it into the filler hole til it starts to come out and i know its filled. it takes about 3/4 of a gallon. get red line it makes it shift way better

 

Some people say you fill it from the transmission and from the shifter. Is this true?

 

yes

 

I dont fill the FC tranny from the shifter, fill it from the fill hole under the car until the oil is at the level where it starts coming out of the hole. This would be considered the proper method of filling the tranny.

 

isn't the shifter a seperate resevour? When I put in the short shifter I filled it to the top of the hole for the ball end ofo the shifter.

 

I'm going to try putting some in the shifter today. I recently changed the fluid in mine and i have a very small noise coming from the tranny now. So, I think I will give that a try.

 

Wow I just filled the upper portion of the transmission and It feels much smoother when I shift. Wow, good thing I found this.

 

For my S5 NA, it took about 2 1/3 - 2 1/2 quarts to fill the transmission.

Oh, and fill it through the fill hole as mentioned, not through the shifter area.
