I went to put fluid in my t5 through the shifter but the fluid is not going down, am i doing something wrong? does it matter were you poor it when you pull the shifter off? or does it need to go in the little ball thing? help!

fill plug is on the passenger side of the trans

4eyedfreak

Yeah i know that but
1) i thought you could pull the shifter and put fluid in that way
2) if thats wrong (which it seems like it is) how the **** are you supposed to get fluid in there?

Wait i filled my trans through my shifter

1 pull out fill plug
2 fill through my shifter
3 once oil leaks through the side of my tranny (fill plug) Cap it and stop
4 replace fill plug

They sell like these pumps with tubes that fit in that hole

Anyways I think you just overfilled it

Alright so thats what i thought and i am not an idiot but that brings me back to my first question, why is it not going down? I did pull the plug and nothing came out, there is no fluid in it because it is brand new. Does it matter where i poor the fluid through the shifter? or what am i doing wrong?
