Hey guys,
Questions #1: I just recently did my suspension and have a question. Sorry for the poor quality pics and if i mess up any terms please forgive me, does the collar that the red arrow is pointing at suppose to slide into where the blue arrow is pointing at, or is it just suppose to site above where it holds the shock... Hope that makes any sense....

Question #2: Where do u drain ur Manual Transmission fluid? Is this it where the red arrow is pointing...



I know you guys arent to fond of n00bs but id really appreciate it if u guys could help me out. Just want to make sure im doing everything right...

you are right...1)the collar stays where it's at. 2)that is the drain plug.

not sure bout the suspension thing cause i cant really see it.
the bolt that you have label drain plug is the drain plug. to fill the tranny again i would undue the speedsensor on top of the tranny (10mm bolt) and fill it from the top. its the easiest and cleanest way.

The second pic is correct. Use a 3/8's drive socket wrench to loosen or tighten that drain bolt on the tranny. The filler plug is the one you pointed at just above it. Use a piece of hose that is clear and flexible enough to get one end inside the filler hole. Hold the other end up above the firewall with the funnel on the end. Fill until you see tranny fluid dribbling out of the filler hole and onto the ground. Should be just a TAD under 2 quarts of MTF.

(not sure about the filling it from the speed sensor spot. Guess it would work the same as long as you put just a little less than 2 qts in, or leave the filler hole unplugged so you can see when it starts to dribble out.)

By looking at the suspension pic again...im thinking that the collar might have to be in the wishbone. make sure that you have the arrow looking thing on the strut placed in between the gap that the wishbone has in the back of it. it's kinda hard to explain but if you look at it you will probably know what i'm talking about. Sorry I dont have any pix to clarify what i'm talking about.

how often should you change your tranmission fluid?

if ur pushing alot of power out, i would change it every 2 oil changes. But if ur just stock, not for a while. Just dont rape it to death
