Transmission Fluid
 

Well my car is goin in the shop on weds...but while i was at autozone the other day...i was talking to the guy about my tranny messing up...the way it grinds when i shift hard or at a high rpm in 2nd...he said it might just need transmission fluid? how do i put tranny fluid in a manual?

RE: Transmission Fluid
 

there is no drain plug on the manual transmission its filled and drained through the same plug ( you have to syphon the old stuff out ) but its supposed to be filled for life if you ever believed that lol

Unless you just had a rebuild, that sounds like the synchros are slowly f *@#ing up on you. That's what mine did and then boom lost everything. The only thing the salvaged from my tranny was the case. but try the tranny oil first you never know.

thanks...i think im going to try and suck all that stuff out of there...how much do i put back in and is there any certain kind that the s4 needs?

RE: Transmission Fluid
 

oil is 75W/90 Synthetic and you need 2.2 - 2.7 liters ill let you do the conversion for the USA it screws my head up working it out lol

RE: Transmission Fluid
 

To Americanize what Dave said.

Redline 75-90
Motul 300 75-90

You need 3qts, it takes about 2.7, and purchase a pump.

im trying to use American language like trunk ( boot ) hood ( bonnet ) since its an American site I owe this much;)

RE: Transmission Fluid
 

Yea, a Boot is something we wear on our feet, a Bonnet is something a girls wears on her head.
Petrol, sounds like a curse word. KM, makes us seams like were driving fast, Liters are for Beer (well good beer anyway)

Color is the pigment of a object, Colur is a last name.

It's Jaguar, not Jaeguair (phonetic spelling as the Brits say it)
Same for Tomato, it's not Tammatto
Lastly Aluminum I can't for the life of me say it the "Brit" way.:D

I have some friends in UK, so I'm used to way you guys talk about cars. I also have a bunch of BMW books that are British.
