Changing Tranny Fluid??? Where are the plugs???

Slowbra_12 · August 6th, 2007, 02:21 PM

I have a 96' COBRA w/ the T45 Warner... I'm getting a good bit of heat from the center consol.. so I'm thinkin that my tranny fluid may be low. It wouldn't hurt to change anyway.

SO... Where are the plugs? Thanks guys

Look on the passenger side of the trans. It has two plugs one above the other. The bottom is the drain plug and top is the fill. It goes a little easier if you take the fill one out first then the drain one out. And its right on the side of the trans you cant miss them.

So the manual transmissions do have fluid in them? I have been told so many things about this topic I dont know what to believe. When I first purchased my 97 GT I did all the normal maintenance things. One of the things I wanted to do was this. I was told that manual trans did not need fluid. That it had more of a grease type stuff in it and it never has to be changed. I wanted to put the purple stuff in it. So am I reading this right? You can changed your manual trans fluid.
