Originally posted by TwoXSmokeX I know there are two bolts one for draing the oil and one for puting in,but how much oil will it take in? Also when done how tight do I have to tightnen the bolts?
There is only one bolt, and that is the drain. The fill port is a rubber plug, but I find it easier to fill through the reverse switch hole.
Originally posted by Speedmonger Drain it from the Bottom plug and then replace the plug. Fill it from the top plug until the oil starts over flowing out of the hole (Usually 2.2 Qtz). Tighten the plug to about 25-30 Ft. Lbs of torque.
There is no fill plug fastener. So I am not sure what torque spec you are providing here.
Originally posted by TwoXSmokeX I don't have any air pressure tools to tighten the plug so I'm just going to go get it done at a shop.
Air/pneumatic tools are never used to torque a fastener to a specified value anyway, so I this is irrelevant. If you want to torque to a specific value, use a torque wrench.
