damn my bro told me i could fill my mtf in this hole right here. i put in about 1qt



and now when i drain not even half a qt came out. i didnt start my motor so that maybe why all the mtf didnt come out. so is it ok to fill my mtf throught that hole?

 

I believe thats the breather hole for the tranny, and yes you can fill it through there. But why not use the regular filler hole?

 

I've always used the filler hole on the side as well.

If you can fill it through the top I would think it would be less messy.

 

i fill mine through the vss hole.

 

I use that hole also, its MUCH easier since you dont have to bend a tube into a horizontal hole.

Drive the car and the fluid will settle. When you pour through there it goes right on the gears so a lot of it is still dripping off the gears thats why it reads low.

 

i just filled mine throught the side it was a mesy bitch!

 

Is there a plug that usually goes over that hole or is it just left open all the time?

 

no its got a small rubber cap

 

well i put in about 2.5 qts when the filler started to spill out some mtf so thats when i knew it was full. went i first empted it out there was only about 1qt that came out. the tranny makes a weird noise now when i let go of the clutch, it might be the flywheel but i didnt make that sound before. also it isnt as smooth as i though it would be, all well. so what would you guys think is makin that noise?

 

umm you put in too much fluid...I think 1.9L is on a refill..

 

yea you could fill through that hole, my friend read it in a HAYNES book

i was surprised too to find out you could fill thru that hole, learn something new

 

yea... 2.5 quarts is just a LIIIIIIITLE too much

 

That's why you're supposed to use the filler hole in the side. Keeps you from putting too much in.

 

i fill mine through the speedo hole in the top of the tranny, mine usually takes 2.5 quarts too grinds with any less in it
