removed the bolt that the lights on, and a milky looking fluid came out..

Isn't that the fill bolt?

the cars on 4 jackstands right now, evenly lifted.

any suggestions?

havent driven the car today, yesterday i drove it about 30 min straight with a loud whine..like it didn't have enough fluid.

Yes that is the fill bolt, personally I would put some cheapo gear lube and drive it around the block then drain. That way you don't contaminate the sweet MT90 you where planning of putting in there, RIGHT

 

[jdombrow]

why cheapo gear lube? cant i just drain and replace?

 

[jdombrow]

and wouldnt putting gear lube in there still contaminate the mt90? btw why would the fluid in there be white?... it looked like milk.

This way your flushing your transmission of whatever milky fluid cam out completely. I however disagree with putting redline mt90 in a high mileage transmission, this is what the guy did at the shop i brought it to do the clutch. If i could go back now i would have put in oem recommended fluid, i think it would have saved me alot of downtime in the long run.

 

[jdombrow]

so drain it now?.. then add gear lube, then drive....then drain the gear lube and replace with a quality fluid..do i got it all right now?

 

[oldman420]

that is correct.

 

[jdombrow]

what kind/weight gear lube would u suggest, and as for fluid? royal purple synchromesh i heard was good?

 

[jdombrow]

gonna be running to store, didnt know what weight gear oil to get,

Yes, Oldman wants you to replace the gear lube with OEM lube. I guess because of wear and tear your tranny needs thicker lube than MT90 can offer.

So drain tranny, put in cheap gear oil, ride around so it can flush the system, then add OEM lube.

P.S, don't bump again or MODs will have you for dinner, MODs forgive his first offense and let it slide please.
