So i decied to change my ATF in the T-5. I went and boight Mobil-1 synthentic,(hope its good stuff) the old **** was pretty nasty looking, dark&metallic, dont think it had been changed since it was rebuilt , anyhow i decided to pour it in from the shift tower, well i went to twist my B&M Hammer off, and i know it was cross-threaded from the last idiot that owned it, and it snapped off. GREAT.....well i pretty much had to keep working. and didnt know it would end up taking me like 3 f*cking hrs to do it all.........had to remove the center console,remove shifter, and all the good stuff......damn now im due for a new shift lever

its not really a bitch usually messy tho

i would have added an additive and drained it. mettalic stuff in any oil = bad

yeah the old fluid was ****, it was really not what i expected, just cuz i broke the Hammer off, and had to remove the center console to get the shifter off to fill it, i did at least figure out i have Hurst shifter, i could never tell what i was before.

buy a siphon pump kit and pump it into the fill hole so that you dont have to take off the shifter

Or a fluid gun at Napa... Both are under $20 and are handy for all sorts of stuff.

wow that musta taken forever to fill that way! a suction pump is cheap and works for the rear end too.

yea i have a pump for things like that. but i just did mine, and didnt take off the console at all... yea those front two bolts are hard to get to... but its not that bad... not worth taking the console out i didnt think.

mobil 1 is the best you can put in it , if its full synthetic.

u guys use manual pumps??? that sucks i'm a spoiled mechanic my roomate had and old IC pump laying around so i bought that for 5$ and some rubber line and just run batter leads to it and let it do all the work

nope... mobil 1 is good don't get me wrong, but GM syncromesh and BG syncroshiftare much better
