how to drain and refill manual transmission fluide

Hi, I would like to know step by step how to drain and refill manual transmission fluide. Also, if somebody has few pics of it, that would be appreciated.

 

Remove drain plug after removing fill plug. Let oil drain, then fill. Fo a search there is a thread.

 

I don't think there is a real how-to on here. It's pretty simple.

You need a 34mm socket, 2 qts of Redline MT-90, and a hand pump for the oil. Drive the truck long enough to warm the oil.

1. remove the fill plug on the passenger side.
2. remove the drain plug on the bottom
3. drain the oil
4. clean both plugs. The drain plug has a magnet that must be cleaned
5. replace the drain plug
6. use the pump to add the oil. Go slow near the end so the oil levels.
7. when oil starts to dribble out the hole, put the fill plug in and clean the cases of all oil.

tips:
1. do not overtighten the plugs! Hold the socket wrench near the head when you snug them down
2. Use the socket to remove the plugs, not an adjustable wrench or other tool
3. after a short drive check the plugs for leaks

 

To do it "RIGHT" it a real big pain in the A$$.
You need to let it warm up. And you need to jump some pins on the OBDII connection.
Then you have to wait for a light to come on. And jump out and check the fluid in a certain time BEFORE it gets to WARM.

Shows you how good I read....huh?

Sorry OP..... And be happy it's not an Auto.

 

its is 24mm or 15/16 head

 

And DO NOT over tighten the drain plug when re-installing. Those things strip out the aluminum threads really easy. I put Teflon tape on mine and just snug it up. If you have a torque wrench, use it.

 

i think torque is like 26ftlb
