ATF filler plug for AISIN Trans?

[rod2004]

anybody knows if there is a filler plug for this Trans?

I have a dipstick tube but just wondering.

[Cat Fuzz]

Fill it through the tube.

Yes, you have the sweet tranny with the sweet set-up - fill through the dipstick tube. TRUST ME, be very thankful that you DON'T have to use a fill-plug!

I think with the filler plug, you can not overfill since it spills out.

with the dipstick if you're not careful, you can overfill.

If you just drained it, it will take about 5 qts. for Dextron III, and if you took the pan off it will hold really close to 6 qts more. Andie

Actually I just did a drain and refill last weekend. It only came out about 3.6 qt. I poured the old fluid in a milk jug and measure it.

5 qts seems a little too much. Maybe we have a different trans then.

btw, why does it hold more if you take the pan off ?

and don't you have to buy a new gasket and everything else if you take the pan off ?

got a question for you Andie since you have a rodeo 04.

is your oil drain plug a 22mm or a 17mm hex bolt?

mine is a 22mm and even the dealer says it should be a 17mm hex.

If yours is not a 4wheel Drive they could be different, they are different types of the Aisin Transmissions, (Jerry Lemon, who probably knows more about Isuzus than anyone in North America, and a sweety too) said there were 4 types, 2 for the 3.2 lt, one for 2 wheel and one for 4 wheel. And the same for the 3.5lt.
When u drop the pan u will have to replace the gasket materail they have on it now, either a formed gasket or gasket making stuff will work. I just prefer real gaskets. Easier to get off the next time.
My drain plug is 14mm, and heres a pic to explain why it all wont drain



The transfer case had about a 23mm or so drain and fill plugs.



but nothing like that on the transmission. If anyone can tell me about this transfer case I sure would be appricative. Andie

yep my atf pan is like that too. it did drained but only about 3.6 or 3.75 qts, almost filled a milk jug. but that's it.

I drained and refilled twice to get about 65% of new fluid in there.

I think next time I will do it thru the oil cooler line.

I have a 2-wd drive so no transfer case for me.

Andie, what is your engine oil drain plug size? 22 mm right?
