Fill/Drain plug for gear oil... [Merged 12-6]

[Franks90GST]

super newbie question but i cant seem to find the tranny drain plug could someone tell me =]
thanks

It's been a little while since I looked at mine, but I think that the fill and drain plugs are both on the side of the transmission facing the front of the car. They should be 24mm plugs.

if this is for a 5 speed they are 19MM, that or 17mm, anyways the drain plug is on the bottom front of the trans, and the filler is about a foot up the tranny from the drain. Make sure you get the filler off first cause it is a lot harder, and sometimes people get stuck when they can get the fluid out, but cant get the bolt of to put it back in.

drain plug is 24mm and fill plug is 17mm

Use Pennzoil Synchromesh.

I pulled my drain plug and no fluid came out, what should I do?
Is and AWD tranny different from and FWD tranny?

 

[90DSMTurboFWD]

you sure it wasnt your fill plug you pulled out? Cause i dont think your trans would have worked for very long without fluid

:laugh:
It should be the same just look on the bottom of the tranny for a larger sized bolt and that should be it. If you remove it and not a drop of fluid falls out then get ready to go junkyard tranny searching.

Something, somewhere, is terribly, terribly wrong. I suspect you may have pulled the wrong bolt. At least, hope for that.

Hey guys I need to change my gear oil in my 95 gst but I can't for the life of me find the fill and drain plugs. Can someone post some pics of these so we can archive them, I've done a search and it seems to be a common problem for us new owners. Thanks!

I assume you're talking about your tranny oil.

well i look under my car and i have what it seem tranny oil leaking from the nut that says oil drain under the tranny! i tried tightning it and it still leaks! anyone know wat kind of washer or gasket thing thats on the drain plug soo i can change it and hopefully fix the leak?

 

[Staytuned]

Usually a copper crush washer.

 

[dirtysouthpinoy]

wat size copper crush washer?? i have a 96 eclipse RS

 

[Staytuned]

Just go to the dealer. The plug can't be more than a couple of bucks.

This is a little off topic, but once u drain the oil, where do u put more in??? In the manual that I have it says that the one at the bottom is where u put it in...

No, if you follow the tranny's contour upward you'll see a plug that says oil on it. It's on the side of the tranny. It's also smaller than the drain plug.

If you have a manual trans and have the battery and tray out you can remove the speedometer cable from the top of the trans and fill it from there.

 

[newdsmtnr96]

Is there a Trans fluid that doesnt burn for manual system? I keep burning and the only one that hasnt burnt so far is B&M. is that what people are using?

Just wondering

 

[VelocitàPaola]

You're only supposed to use the dealer fluid in your NV-T350 manual tranny. There used to be a very specific, and expensive fluid sold by the dealer; fortunately, you can now pick up A/T tranny fluid meant for later version Neons, etc. from your local Dodge dealership.
I don't have the specific part number on hand, but I know some of the others do - they'll post it soon.

A few of us have had success with BG Synchroshift or Pennzoil Synchromesh (like me), but if I wouldn't risk it; take a trip to the dealer.

i tried to search this subject but couldnt find anything or wasn't typing in right words .anyway i want to try some penzoil synchromesh but i dont want to take out ther wrong things and really mess something up. thanks

 

[OverBoostinGST]

Looking at your motor theres one right on the transmission's face, and one under the car on the left side of the transmission(when your facing the motor ). There bigger bolts then the rest just so you dont get confusied. Hope this helps.

 

[gavin1]

thank you.i appreciate your reponse,i just didn't want to mess something up.
