Hey! Looks like you have 5 speed manual transmission right? as I remember from my manual trany supra I drained fluid from the back of the trany where the drive shaft goes and filled it thru shifter.... its a long proccess...

Whats a good oil to use for the tranny and gear? Maybe something synthetic.

Redline MT-90

yah synthetic gear oil is alot better gives it more secure shifts

What do you guys use to get that oil into the tranny and differential because from what i see the fill plug is on the side.

dcrusupra · 03-22-2006, 03:58 AM

Not sure about the differential, but just take the shifter out of the tranny and pour in thru the top. Or u can use a hand pump and a syphon and put it in thru the side for a little forearm workout.

What the shit? Drive shaft? Why don't you just unscrew the drain plug with a 6 POINT socket AND BRAKER BAR or 6 POINT box end. It's on the Passenger side of the tranny. Then fill through the top. Redline MT-90 fo sheezy. hooray! And use a poperly sized metric wrench, you'll want to shoot yourself in the head if you strip that drain plug, its soft so don't wrench it back on ridiculously tight either.
