Is it possible to pull the shift boot and the shifter out and fill the fluid from the top of the tranny? I know some cars (like my nissan) would allow you to do it that way.


*basically you still open the fill plug on the side so you know when to stop*

 

nope, you have to do it from underneath.

 

You *could* pull the shifter panel/boot, then run a tube from inside the car down to the tranny filler hole.

However! I wouldn't dare put tranny oil inside of my car if I don't have to... If you spill any of it, it smells for months.

You can run a hose from the tranny filler hole up into the engine bay, attach it to a funnel and start filling away. At least that way you aren't stuck under the car trying to use one of those crappy AutoZone hand pumps.

 

k good point

 

I would run the line down from the engine bay to the fill hole. That way it's a straight downhill shot, and no worries of getting the oil in the wrong place.

I got tired of pumping and rigged hose to the bottle i put small hole in the bottom of the tranny fluid container and with regulated air i pressure it into trans. Was very fast just dont blow up the quart contanier!!!!

 

Can some one post up some pictures of refill and drain plugs,,, im looking into doing a fluid change myself thanks.
