Notes
These procedures will work for any Manual Transmission vehicles (FWD or AWD). The transaxle procedure is definetly void for auto-trannys, but I am not for sure about transfer case/differential procedures.
For you FWD guys, only the transaxle procedure is required. The AWD folks will want to look at the transfer case and differential procedures as well.

This procedure runs through changing the transaxle, transfer case, and differential oil on an AWD manual drive 1995 Talon. The plug positions are almost idential for all years/makes of T/E/Ls.

Tools Needed
17mm & 24mm sockets
Breaker Bar
Funnel (see Funnel Notes)
6 ft of hose (max 1/2" outer diameter)
3 qts of GL4 Gear Oil (i.e. Redline MT90)
1 qt of GL5 Gear Oil (i.e. Redline 75W90)
Drain pan

Capacities
Transaxle: 2.4 qrts
Transfer Case: 0.5 qrts
Differential: 0.9 qrts




Transaxle Procedure
Park car on level ground
Climb under car (don't jack up) and remove the filler plug (17mm), see picture. This plug can sometimes be a royal pain to get out. Be ready to have to use your breaker bar!
Place catch pan under tranny and remove drain plug (24mm)
When done draining, replace drain plug and remove catch pan
From the passenger side of the radiator (to the right of the air can) you should be able to see down to the transaxle case. Run the hose down through there and into the filler hole. You can attach the funnel to the catch on the hood to hold it while you pour. After about 2.3 qrts, remove the hose and see if any oil leaks out of the filler plug hole. If none does add more oil, if some does wait till it doesn't leak anymore then replace the filler plug. See the top and bottom funnel set ups.
Your done!



Transfer Case Procedure
Jack the front of the car up to be able to get at the transfer case.
Find the fill plug (17mm) and the drain plug (24mm).
Place the pan under the drain plug and then remove the plug. Remove the fill plug.
When done draining replacethe drain plug
Using a similar setup as to the Transaxle refill, fill the transfer case with the remaining GL4 gear oil (better be > 0.5 qrts).
Remove the fill tube and let whatever excess drain out of the transfer case fill plug.
When it quits, replace the fill plug


Differential Procedure
Park car on level ground
Climb under car (don't jack up) to be able to get at the differential and find the fill plug (24mm) and the drain plug (24mm), see picture
Place the pan under the drain plug and then remove the plug. Remove the fill plug.
When done draining replace the drain plug
Using a similar setup as to the Transaxle refill (see picture), fill the transfer case with the GL5 gear oil. We found that snaking the tube down through the passenger rear tire wheel well to the differential allows an easy path to filling the differential.
Remove the fill tube and let whatever excess drain out of the transfer case fill plug.
When it quits, replace the fill plug


Funnel Notes
The biggest problem is coming up with a hose/funnel. The filler hole is 1/2" in diameter, so your hose can't be any bigger than that. Don't go to an automotive store, because all the hose they have there usually has a large amount of insulation (i.e. 1/2" outside diameter fuel hose, has a 1/4" inner diameter). Go to a home store that has cheap plastic tubing (with a small amount of insulation) and get the a large diameter hose up to 1/2". Then find a funnel that will fit the hose you just bought and go to it!

The answer to your question is in there haha. Did you not read it fully?

Google is your friend. This question has probably been answered a 100 times over.

Hahahahahaha. I love it.


I think we have found the pinnacle of n00bness.

Start by replacing the seal on the oil cap.

 

[19Eclipse90]

I believe this is what your asking for?

That is for an AWD. A FWD uses these locations for the fill and drain plugs.

Yeah the oil cap is the only thing I could think of.

Refer to this and follow accordingly per your MBC type: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/365594-help-manual-boost-controller.html#post152154778

 

[97eclipse4g663]

ok mine is done that way... what do u do with the 2 hoses that come from the turbo waste gate selenoid

 

[19Eclipse90]

On the solenoid itself? Cap them, loop them, remove them, leave them. They don't really matter.

Just make sure you plug the nipple on the intake pipe/canister (on the line labeled "W") as directed in the link I provided. That one does matter.

ok new problem i had to put a clutch in my car and i put in lightened flywheel it weighs 11.5 lb and every starter i but on the car dosent seem to work right... sounds like its skipping across the flywheel... does anyone know what the problem may b... and on a 97 eclipse spder 4g63 with a 7 bolt how many teeth does the stock flywheel have... please help

 

[19Eclipse90]

Stock FWD turbo flywheel has 110 teeth. If the flywheel was an AWD (with only 106 teeth), the starter won't engage. It's one possibility.

 

[97eclipse4g663]

the starter engages and will start the car... nothing wrong with the flywheel... sounds like the startes grinding or skipping teeth... dunno what the problem is
