Manualtransmission oil change

Hey guys, i was following a sticky thread yesterday that had diff change, tranny change, throttle body cleaning, and a bunch of other preventative maintenance that I can not find for the life of me now!!

Anyways my question is I changed my manual tranny oil and only got 2 quarts of oil in it before it started pouring out the fill plug.........is this normal? i read i would need 2-3 quarts and figured I would get at least 2.5 quarts. Anyone have the same experience?

 

As long as you were parked on level ground and it was full, you are okay.

 

well i just read another stickey and answered my own question.... said the manual 2wd only takes 1.9..... so i guess im good. and mabey im crazy but it feels like it shifts so much smoother now!! i should have done this 30,000 miles ago!

 

What kind of oil did you use? I put redline MT-90 in mine a few months ago and it shifts great now.

 

I used synthetic mobile 1 75w90 GL-5, thanks for the help steve, and good looking truck!

 

Thanks.
Good choice in oil and I have nothing better to do right now so I might as well help out.
