maintenance fun

I'm in the middle of replacing my transmission fluid and filter. Where do I pour the new fluid in at? Just wanna make sure so I don't mess anything up lol.

Have to get a funnel and pour it in the transmission dip stick tube. It should take between 7.5 and 8 quarts on a pan drop/filter change. Make sure you put 4 quarts in first then start the car and add up to 7. Then shift all the way down on your shifter and back up though each gate and check your level to top it off.

Will do. Thank you good sir.

So how about when I tried to get the filter out I broke the little tube that it's attached by. I've been tugging on it and shiet to try and get it out but it just won't do it. Anyone have anything that could help? lol

If you're talking about the plastic neck that sticks into the transmission with an o-ring around it (typically), you can pull it out using a home made tool (basically a scratch awl with the tip bent back @ 115 degrees - you're making a hook basically).

I ended up getting it out. That was the biggest pain ever lol

punch and a hammer, split it in two then it will fall out.

you can only check the fluid when the tranny is warm and the car is level, in park and idling.
