Is there an easy way of putting Fluid in a MT? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I tried putting Mobile 1 Fluid... comes in a squeeze bottle...

but damn there is no room to fit it I probably wasted more than 1/2 of it trying to put it in!

What should I do for it? the room between the bottom header/cat and tranny is pretty small. Any suggestions?

hook it up to the bottle, then pump it in. its a REALLY easy job.

Or you can take the top fill plug off the transmission dump the fluid down the shifter hole till it starts to **** out the fill hole.

EDIT: Wow...you can't say P.I.S.S. on this board? My virgin ears will bleed for Gawd sakes!

I went to Home Depot and got a funnel and about 2ft of 1in thick vinyl tubing to make a bong for the tranny. It worked well and only took about five minutes to fill.

For the record...where is the fill hole?

(ie. I don't really know) ...but then I haven't looked. Just want to make sure I know b4 I go try to change mine.

EIDT:Also...is there a drain plug around or do you have to "draw" the oil out of the fill hole?
