Steve, FYI when I went to refill the gear oil with Swepco I used a piece of rubber hose and put a funnel on the end of it. It is easier to do this with two people, put the hose end in the filler hole and watch the level to see when it's full while someone else pours the Swepco in through the funnel. I'm sure this isn't the optimal way of doing it, but this method worked for me and I just used stuff lying around in my garage.

I have to admit that I'm just too lazy to jack up the car and look myself right now and hope that you recall the answer from when you changed out your transmission fluid.
RennTech suggests that the drain and fill plugs require different wrenches. Was that your experience? Tools you will need: Tire ramps or jack 17 mm allen for the fill plug image 16 mm triple square with a hole in the middle for the drain plug image (some cars have an allen type drain plug) 3 quart oil catch pan Torque wrench (optional) |

My car had an allen on the fill and drain. We jacked it up and put it on stands so that it approximated "even" - supposedly drained better that way. I don't think I torqued to anything specific.

Easy no pumps and stuff to cleanup fill for trans fluid. works well standing under a lift or lying on your back with car on jackstands and is one man work.
Drill hole in jug cap that is a bit smaller than the tubing you have on hand. Cram the tubing through cap far enough for it to reach bottom of jug. Put on jug and then poke a small hole in top of jug. Put other end of the hose in trans and make it stay put somehow without you having to hold it. Take an air gun and put some pressure into the hole in jug. Go easy and add air only as needed to keep the fluid moving along. When full pull air gun from hole and flow will stop unlike a still 1/2 full funnel. Throw the whole mess out no muss no fuss, clear plastic tubing is too cheap to clean IMO.
