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!

 

Let me guess your between the ages of 16-18 correct?I dont get how some of you kids dont blow your car up. You must be kidding right

 

in eaither case, no im not kidding whats the deal?

 

why would u be a dick when someone needs help.... do u expect everyone to know everything about ab car the second they are born? u have to learn sometime and this is his time for that problem.... dont be a dick

 

well thank you. I would like to think i know a little but this is mind blowing, whats going on?

 

fill plug is on the passenger side of the trans

 

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?
