Re: Transmission Maintenance?

So let me get this straight...it takes 12 quarts just for the transmission oil??? On top of the 8-8.5 that's in the engine case. Jeeez these cars have a lot of oil in them.

I think I read somewhere about my manual tranny only having like a quart of that oil (less moving parts). Anyone know if us stick drivers need to change ours?

Actually the owners manual calls for a new filter change and new fluid at 80,000 miles, after that it is good for life. Or at least that is what it says.

Re: Transmission Maintenance?

Hi again guys. This is all very interesting. But does ANYONE actually know how to get that weird looking cap/seal off that auto-trans filler tube just behind the air-filter housing? Please. I'm desperate to find out. Thanks.

Regards,
Jim.
