2 questions... the one w/ the shorter magnet is what im talking about...

1. where does it go?
2. i took off the big nut to the right of the axel and some transmission fluid leaked out... is this ok? the manual says its enough when u can stick ur finger and feel it on the bottom of the hole...

thanks all

 

both go in the drain plugs.

 

yeah that should be it

 

where does the short one go? i tried to put it in the one to the right of the axle, but the hole is too big

 

It goes on the drain plug on the tranny. The drain plug on the tranny is round with a square hole. It should be located lower right to the fill plug that you have found.

 

so , i guess the blue circle? how do i take that off?

 

yep...that's the one

just stick your 3/8" driver in there (without a socket).

 

ok cool, thas what i thought... but now the 2nd question... while doing this i lost some fluid. When i open the bolt in the yellow circle, it still drips out some fluid... is this adequate? the manual says it should be on the lower level of that hole

 

When you go to unbolt the drain plug...all of the fluid will come rushing out. My suggestion is to replace with new fluid. Make sure your car is leveled and pour fluid into the tranny (fill hole) until it is at the fill hole height (it will start leaking out...wait till it stops leaking and put the fill plug back on).

Good luck!

 

its is leaking out... so is that enough? i dont have any MTF on me... i did the swap as quick as i can (changeing the drain bolts)...

 

Personally, I wouldn't have changed the plugs without changing the fluids.

If your car is leveled and it is pouring out of the fill plug then that is enough.

-Tommy who changes his tranny fluid 3-4 times per year.

 

well, its not exacly level... i jacked it up on the passenger side with a jack in the front center...

 

Don't be lazy.

Change your oil and trans fluid.

 

Dude, raise your car so that it is level all the way around. Spend $10 and change your fluid. Don't do things half azzed

 

$35 or so on drain plugs and you can't fork over a bit more for fluids?
