Dragon Stang - I gota question, I do not have the repair manual, could you post a picture or give some simple instructions/how to? The winter will be here soon andI think I would like the synthetic fluid in my transmission.

haha....i was just talking about this in the RP thread.
You can also feed it through the shifter hole inside the car if you want. Either way work better than using a pump IMO

Yes, the shifter hole would be the obvious choice. In my case, I had recently installed a MGW shifter. As such, I did not want to disturb the dynamat. The next best choice for me was the technique I described. No issues with spilling oil on the interior. The fill was quick and easy.
algregory... What is it with you and the Tuffoil? You know that stuff is going to do more damage than good. Stop putting solids into your engine and tranny oil for the love of Gawd!

Just scroll down near the bottom of the page. You will see the tail section of the tranny. The fill plug is labeled "28" and the drain plug is "18". You can remove the plugs with a 3/8" drive ratchet. Remove the fill plug first. Then remove the drain plug. Be carefull when you install the plugs. The tranny is aluminium. Do not over tighten the plugs or you may crack the plug bosses. I used a little blue (medium) loctite on the plug threads andscrewed them in untiljust "snug tight" about 10 to 12 lb-ft torque. The loctite will seal the threads and keep the plug in place.The tranny will hold 3 liters of oil or 3.2 US quarts. Do not over fill!
Good luck Dude

There's no need, because my pictures still work and it's much simpler to pull the shifter cover off and run a hose through the shifter hole.

Any hardware store sells tubing by the foot for cheap. I'm pretty sure that is 3/8 inch tubing and it fit perfect in the fill hole. Buy 3 bottles of royal purple synchromax, 4 if you want to put in 3.2 quarts. The royal purple bottles work great to squeeze the fluid into the transmission and if you are really worried about spilling oil inside the car, then buy 6 feet of hose.
