stoopid question.

if I am changing the oil in my transmission to the syncromesh stuff. will I need to bleed the cluth lines or do I just pop the bolt drain and then refill?


thanks

Unscrew the drain bolt, screw it back in. Ubscrew filler bolt, filler, screw back in.

I bought a plastic tube to facilitate in the refill. It was VERY easy that way.

 

just pop the bottom bolts out and drain it and refill it. Bleeding and stuff is not necessary unless you your clutch fluid is dirty..

 

Awesome.
thats all I thought was involved. wanted to make sure. before I did it and find out that I need to do something else!

 

for an even easier time find one of those "bottle pump" things. I'll have to snap a shot of the one we have. black pump like something you'd use for a garden sprayer bottle... stick it down into the tranny fluid bottle, and have a hose just long enough to get into the tranny filler hole. Pump until fluid comes out of tranny, you're done.

 

When I change it, I drain from the bottom and fill from the vent on the top with a gear oil bottle (the ones with the pointed tip). Piece of cake.

 

The hydraulic system for the clutch is completely separate from the transmission fluid . . . no need to touch it for a tranny fluid swap.

Just make sure the car is level when you're draining/refilling it - no jacking up just the front end (or using ramps).

I use the vent also to fill but with a little funnel
