Where to add transmission fluid

 

i made this mistake as well lol. only i didnt fully drain

 

If it makes you feel any better, even if you pull the transmission plug and drain until you don't get anymore fluid, you'll only get about 5 quarts out of the tranny and it takes something like 15. There is a lot of fluid still left in the cooler lines and the torque convertor so you weren't running the transmission dry.

The fill plug is on the passenger side, toward the rear of the transmission. It's something like a 19 or 21 mm fill plug and it's a PITA to get fluid into. You'll need a fluid pump or I ran a hose from the fill plug, up through the engine bay to a funnel so I could fill from there and let gravity do it's thing.

 

Where's Krazy sj? He can fix it for ya real good...

^^^beat me to it, I had trouble finding it on me phone^^^

 

You can just go ahead and add it back? I thought things had to be taken up to a certain temperature or some bs.

 

If you collected all the fluid that drained out and it's clean, then yes, you can just add it back in. If you do a drain and refill or a transmission flush, then you should go through the check process to make sure you're at the correct fluid level.
