Default Question on Changing Manual Transmission Oil...

The manual transmission oil change is next on my list... I know the plug to empty it is located under the transmission (right over the exhaust pipe - great!) and the fill plug is located on the side somewhere, but I'm not sure how oil much to put into it. Do I fill the transmission right up to the fill plug, or do I only put in a specific amount?

Thanks!

I stand corrected it was 3.2 pints, my mistake. Should have checked my response before hitting the reply button.

James James James.. Your not paying attention again..!! 2 slaps with the ruler....

Hey, hows that supercharger working out, and how much did that baby cost?
I imagine it goes hand in hand with the headers??

AND.... I want RED flares.. (getting back on track)...

capt...it's this working and trying to follow this forum at the same time that gets me in trouble The supercharger is doing great, but should get better as the ECM adjusts to it. As far as cost...well check the HESCO website and you will see. Let's just say it was a lot for me.

WOW.. I went there.. 4.5 thousand and up..!! I might condider it in the future if I make some good money somewhere.. I just dropped $3200 on a Rancho long arm lift and install. (Work to be done sept 7-14th)

That video I saw of a JK with one was kind of lame as they were running it next to a overpass and all you could hear was the traffic passing over..!!
