Putting the Tranny Back in tomorrow - Quick Question

The Novice · July 18th, 2009, 11:29 PM

Ok so i resurfaced the flywheel and got a new King Cobra Clutch kit and just rebuilt my tranny, Its a Tremec T-5z and im about to put it all back together now that i got my new Rear main seal in and everything is good to go.

3 quick questions....

1- Whats the TQ specs for the Flywheel and clutch?

2-What ATF should i use or will work best? Dextron? Napa brand? Or does it not matter really?

3- How many Quarts of Tranny Fluid Do i need for my T-5z? And also the big question is how do i get it all in there?

The Whole is on the side of the trans, but i cant put it all in 1st before i lift the trans to line it up b/c of the driveshaft hole will spill it onto the floor...and tricks or ideas of how to do this the easy way?

Thanks for the help guys, never done this before so any tips and info help! So thank you very much guys! - Joe.

Dex/merc ATF. 2.8 or 2.9 quarts. I put mine in through the shifter base.

you can fill through the shifter or you can use a siphon pump that you can pick up at most auto parts stores. fill it until the fluid starts coming out of the top hole.

75-80 foot pounds, or 65 if you are using arp bolts. Also make sure to use a moly lube.

Ok i took off the shifter and the boot any everything, and now that part of the tranny is all open. My question now is do i have to take out the Center column? The rubber boot any everything is in the way, and i wont be able to get the shifter and boot any everything back together b/c the hole isnt big enough.

I took out the whole center console, shifter, boot, everything so all you will have is carpet and you can see the tranny. Just slowly pour it in.
