gear oil plug on tranny... which one for filling??

[HoosierDrifter]

well my tranny in dripping out a lil gear oil out of the tail shaft i beleive.. so i need to check it and fill it... there is a plug on each side of the tranny near the shifter area... are those the ones i use to fill and check the oil depth?

[wotandsdwys]

I'm pretty sure its the driver side, thats the one I've used.

Fill it through either.

What I do:

take one plug out of either side. Fill through shifter until oil comes out of that hole.

Ditto

After it starts coming out, that means its full? You can just plug the hole again and that's it?

whoops, i read fanatics post wrong. I drain it all out, and refill with a hose untill it comes out the top plug. Its kinda a pain though. What gear oil do you guys use? The only GL-4 i could find was a 80W-85W-95W mix IIRC. Its something like that, a blend of the three. Is that what i should be using?

[nissanfanatic]

GL-4 yes.

If I had a syphon pump or hose long enough to fill via plug I would.. until then, I'm gonna keep rockin the gear oil interior fragrence...

(honestly.. its not hard to not spill...really...)

I've been eyeing this stuff for a lil bit. Might pick some up after I get my AVC-R.

no shit!! like 2 drops in my friends car's trunk made it smell. i hate that stuff.
