Can anyone help me in finding a post on how to change manual transmission oil in a 3rd gen? I've looked but havent been able to find any.

Thanks

 

its just like any other transmission you drain it from the drain plug then you fill it on the filler hole. it tells you how in the service manual that is in the third gen archives.

 

The pictures aren't in the thread anymore, but the text is still there:

Basic jist:

1. Put the car up on jackstands or lift
2. Open the "fill" plug (if you can't get this open, stop now and don't go any further)
3. Put drain pan under tranny
4. Open "drain" plug and drain oil
5. Wipe off excess oil on bottom of drain area
6. Reinstall drain plug
7. Insert tube into fill hole
8. Full fluid until it starts to trickle out of the fill hole
9. Wipe off excess oil around fill plug
10. Reinstall fill plug

Use the FSM for location of the fill and drain plugs. BTW, I use a long tube attached to a funnel which I run up into the engine bay to use gravity to fill the tranny.

 

Thanks!

 

If you have not yet purchased tranny fluid, "NEO" tranny fluid is highly recommended by many members on this forum.
