In Reply to: Changing gear oil?? posted by mentat on July 19, 2002 at 11:15:06:
: Shifting is getting "sticky" lately, and until I can afford to have this clutch looked at/replaced I would like to at least try to change my MT oil, is this a particularly difficult propsition? I figure it's probably a bit on the dirty side as this past 10 months of owning the car has been my first real learning time in an MT car. Anyway, I believe i remember reading somewhere that there were a few quirks to beware of, ie you cant drain it with the front jacked up due to the location of the drainplug? The picture in the FSM isnt really helping me here, as it only shows a small cutaway type view and i'm not familiar enough with the layout to picture this properly in my head. And i'm not going outside to check because it is still raining ;P So if anyone has any advice/recommendations/etc for this procedure, i would be most grateful. Lube place down the street wants like $30 for it and if i can do it "somewhat" easily, I sure as hell dont want to pay them for it. : thanks much
premeasure the amount of oil and put it in though the speed sensor(located on tranny right below the fuel filter) 1 10mm bolt and it's off. Use a clear plastic flexible tube to get the oil in. Alot easier than a pump and arching your back under the car.
