how much do i put in. i am using the tranny off the k8 on my klze.
and i cant figure out how much and where to fill it.

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?

yes, and use a GL-4 gear oil.

and how much do i fill it with?

According to shop manual its just over 3 qts, I just bought some synthetic Mobil 1 75w90, which I'm changing soon.

dude it sucks. it took forever and i even had a oil pump

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

was the drain bolt on the bottom of the transmission rounded off? If not you wasted alot of time & effort lol.

yea. it was. if i had messed up i would grinded my tranny all to s--- by now

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.
