B5 5 spd tranny fluid change by Sandman
This was done on a 98.5 30v 5 spd audi a4
it wasnt hard if you can change oil you can do this you will need a special bit because the drain plug is tamper proof, i got mine at www.germanautoparts.com it was a bit expensive ($25) but it is needed and it will work on both the drain plug and the filler plug. first off drive your car around untill the fluid has heated up, this will allow the fluid to drain easier. jack your car up http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/8...kpoints0ew.jpg here is the special bit, along side the drain plug and fill plug. http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/2114/1parts2cu.jpg http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/2749/1tool8hq.jpg un screw the drain plug and wait till all the old fluid has trickled out heres where the drain plug is, its right on the bottom of the tranny, you cant miss it http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/6...ainplug8xp.jpg replace the drain plug and remove the fill plug the fill plug is the large bolt in the middle, it is on the drivers side of the gear box near the axel http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/205/1fillplug1vg.jpg i used mobil 1 75w90, fully synthetic, this is what the manufactuer reccomends and it took about 3 quarts http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/5647/1pump1cj.jpg you will need some sort of way to get the fluid up in to the filler whole, u used this pump type of thingie, you can get it at any auto parts store. pump it full. http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/2...umpfull4sz.jpg the tranny will take more than 3 quarts but this is only because the car is jacked up and at an uneven slant, again only add 3 quarts as you can see i needed this http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/1953/1oldoil5ni.jpg and now my shifts are smoother than ever torque listings fill plug=18 ft/lbs drain plug=26 ft/lbs |
