You did a KLZE swap and you don't even know something as basic as this?

its a 23mm bolt on the front of the tranny, fill it till gear oil starts to come out then put the plug back in. im assuming you have a 5speed

ok i found it. and yes it is a 5 speed. And i just fill it till it is level with the bottom of the check hole right?

You pumped it out? You didn't have to there's drain bolt and drain bolt.

no i pumped it in. it took like an hour that oil is thick

wow, i use a funnel with the long flexible neck on it. takes 5 minutes to pour it in. the transfer pumps are good but normally only use those where there is no room to pour from above. ie. rwd trannys like my b3000

I typically just use a few feet of clear hose from a hardware store and a funnel. Can do it from either wheel well or from engine bay. Doesn't take too long. Refilling the differential on my RX-7 - now that was a PITA. Wish I had a pump.

I use two bottles of lucaus 80-90 and one bottle of lucaus auto trans fix comes to 3 quarts makes it really thick and so far my transmissins have been takeing the abuse of 300hp and 330tq on a stock g-series trans the gears take it not the diffs tho. Only draw back is in the winter it is so thick it dam near stalls the car when you let the clutch out and its hard to shift till fluid warms up. But I dont drive that car once its snows or is below 40 deg. So no big deal for me.
