fill hole for 5 spd?
« on: June 14, 2009, 01:20:29 pm »
 

I see where the drain plug is, but until I know where the fill is, I'm not draining it. Below where the arrow points there's a big plug (hex drive) but a cable is in front of it.
What's that big Hex looks like 27 mm (big circle)?

Is the small circle the speedo cable?

Got an email on Fri that my Bently has been shipped so I won't be asking thse dumb questions anymore

There's a hex plug on the driver side wheel of the tranny. That's the one you fill to the bottom of. Obviously, you'll need to take the wheel off and use a long funnel to top off the tranny fluid. Hex plug is 17mm. Same as a lug nut if you can't find a large enough hex key.

The big circled one is the selector shaft detent bolt.  Small circle is indeed your speedometer cable.


Just fill it through the speedo cable hole with a funnel with a hose on it.

Speedo hole looks easier. Just remove the bolt and lift the speedo cable and the plate off? I have a qt. of Redline MTL. Is that compatible? If the old fluid is real dirty, I'd want to flush it first. What do I use to flush with? engine oi or 90W gear oil? It takes 4.2 pints is that right?

BIg funnel? CT sells a tranny fill cap that goes right on the bottle. I feed the tube into the fill hole, and then turn the bottle over, open the valve and let it flow in. Sometimes I heat the bottle in hot water to make it flow faster.

How about removing the bolt first and make sure nothing else around can fall in before lifting the cover?
