i found a leak at the bottom pan of my transmission,
i already bought a gasket for it,
but before i try to change and refill and replace the leaking gasket,,,,
i cant find the fill hole of the transmission...
today i bleed the air out of the hydraulic clutch, clean the intake, new air filter, change the oil,
it shifts better,,, but still difficult to put in first gear at a dead stop.
please help me how to find the fill hole...
how old is your car?
the filler is on the pumpkin of the rear diff. its a bolt on the side by the axle.
mine is a 2009, has 43000 km now,
is the plug hole facing toward the sky ? or does it face to the left or right side, and where abouts,,,
if i am looking correctly at the guide, it is on the drivers side (lefthand) and if you are looking at where the drivers axle comes out of the car as center, it is about 8 oclock on the housing.
ok, will look again when next time the car on the hoist,,
wow the fluid is not cheap!!! cost me $90 for 5L of 75w90 GL-3
hey rabbit, look at this,,, 14x6 4x100 custom finished p-slot wheels
how to reset the maintenence light ?
a wrench and a tea pot on my gauge.
i DID oil change few days ago, and at 43390 km it turned on
i found the answer on that , from my owners manuel,Quote:

2, floor the gas pedal 3 times in 5 seconds. and the light blinks,
3, turn it off and remove the key.
4, turn on the engine like normal,
5, the light will turn off.
6, make sure to do that when the oill just been changed, not anytime...
i did this 1500 km after the oil change.
and still, looking for the fill hole for the trans....
It will likely be a plug in the side of the trans that uses an Allen wrench to remove. There might be two, the lower being a drain. They are usually near each other. It will sit flush or a little inside the transmission housing. I haven't looked myself so I don't know, this is what I have seen on other cars. Also when you replace the plug don't go past where it was when you started. It is possible to turn some of them right into the trans, then you are in trouble. Hope that helps some.
ok i read a few of other posts, and i looked into my car yesterday. i found 2 holes.Quote:

2, a very hidden bolt at where the RIGHT cv shaft, the 8 o clovk position.
so i remove the black pan to drain,, and fill the fluid up to hole # 2 ?
other says that he should fill it to top up hole #1
i removed the black cap of hole #1, and try to dip some oil with a toothpick, yeah oil is there.
when i remove bolt 2, there wasnt any oil come out. i put my finger in , yes the level is low,
then i put the bolt back in there, ......................................

........
should i fill it and top up hole #1 or hole #2 at the next attempt ????????
a proper procedure is probably remove both, and fill from the top hole (if it is in fact a filling point, i'm not going to defect from the manuals filling procedure) and fill until it runs fluid out the actual fill hole, in the form of a flush so to speak. once it stops running out, its to the "proper level" but this method should really only be performed with some sort of recovery system.
missed this, what about them?Quote:

i am so confused, ...
what is the purpose of the top hole ?
i think he was saying the same thing i did, you can't fill from the bottom hole without a pump, or some contraption to route the fluid. the top hole would allow you to use a funnel. Then you just fill until the fluid is at the level of the back hole. (open it, wait for it to run out) then it is full.
ok i did it, with a back yard mechanic's assistance,
he filled it up by the CV- shaft, and open the fill hole there was fluid coming out , and then put it back,
i noticed a major difference,
from 1 gear to 2 gear, i dont have to wait for the rpm to drop quite a bit then engage to 2nd gear,
and putting the shifter to 1 is easier.
now i finally can feel the real power of the car 1 gear and 2 gear full throttle,
but, 2nd to 3rd is still sticky,, , the shifter dont quite want to go to 3 freely, (i guess, by what i experienced, it need the rpm to drop more, then the stick can go to 3 )
also , still difficult to put it in 1 when the car is "coming to a complete stop" like 5 or 10 km/h.
is there little too less 75w90 ? if so, can i just put some in the hole on top of the trans (the hole covered by black cap)
