OP, I want to hear how it works, it is time for me to change the oil in my tranny too.

 

Not to hijack the thread, but I'm changing my oil and I was wondering.
Will I be able to change the gear oil by just putting the car on the jack and take off the front wheel ?

and where the hell is the drain plug and the opening for refilling.

Yeah I checked webtech but the pic is so screwed up that I can't really tell where the heck it would be on my engine.

If someone got like a pic of their engine pointing it out for me :unsure:

 

I was using the redline/lucus combo for awhile. I recently switched to Royal Purple gear oil with out the lucus. Tranny shifts way smoother with the Royal Purple compared to the redline/lucus.

Just my 2 cents.

 

You could change oil in manual tranny without taking off wheels.
Drain plug should be the lowerest plug in tranny. On front side there is a bolt, through what you should fiil in new oil (fill max you can through that hole)

 

Yeah I noticed, pretty big nut, need like wrench 17.

But I seem to not get it open, stuck like a b**tch. Can't make a lot of power because of the nut is begin low and the wrench is way too long.

 

The inlet one is 17mm wrench, but I didn't touch the outlet one today, looked like 19mm though.

I just added some lucas stabilizer and let it go for now. I will be changing my clutch soon (hopefully), so I don't want to go through 2 oil changes for no reason.

 

I just got a couple quarts of Amsoil Sever Gear, my guy at Innovative Tunning suggested it, way overkill he says, but you won't have to add Lucas. He uses it in alot of Suby's and a couple race cars. Downside, $9 a quart, I'll let everyone know how it works. With the old tranny I used RedlineMT90, it drained out (long story), and i went with Valvoline 75w90, didn't notice that much of a difference.

 

mt90 turned out to be $13.60 a quart because of shipping.

Definitely keep us updated
