Tranny/diff fluid change

Dr. Jimbo · 11-26-2007, 11:41 AM

Just did it yesterday and, Damn, it feels like I got a new car! I had been driving rather conservatively lately cuz I knew I had to change the fluid and the shifting was quite notchy. Smoooooth as silk now.
A question though. Tranny should take 1.56 qts. Mine took about 1.75 qts (8 oz. left in the 2nd quart bottle). The car was level. Am I looking at any problems down the road? That's about 6 oz extra fluid. I followed the directions outlined on s2kca, pretty cut and dry. Any thoughts, concerns, free beer, etc.?

Still can't find the location of that random coolant smell.

According to the post by Xviper (an S owner I hold in VERY high regard) he states that it will hold all two quarts with no problems.

Great " 'ow to" Go. I used Coop's instructions on s2kca. I guess a little extra fluid is OK.
Gettin' cold up in Ida'o? Top down in Santa Barbara, baby! A bit cool in da evening but da 'eater works great. (I sound like Java, makin' up for no "I-I" on my ome computer)

Haven't changed mine yet but on most every car I have worked on, you filled it up to the bottom of the filler hole.
