914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Tranny ? for the mentally hurting

Posted by: bandjoey Dec 31 2009, 07:58 PM

Changed out the speedo drive today on the tranny and changed the fluid for the first time since I got this car. Fluid was brown chocolate but still runny. The lower plug magnet had a nice dome of goo but just a couple of tiny specks of metal showing. Added the super de duper Swepco blue tranny oil.

?1. Is there a tranny flush for old trannys or when should I change the fluid again?
?2. Added per Haynes, 2.6 quarts of fluid...that's 2qts and 19 ozs I think
?3. See the pix. Torqued to 17lbs. Fill plug is almost flush. Drain plug sticks out a few threads. Is this OK?
?4. The speedo cable has a slot I can put 2 quarters into but the drive is nice and small. Has the cable end expanded out of form or are all ends this way?
Thanks and Happy New Year!

The tranny drain plug sticks out, don't try to make it flush. Add fluid (the car level) up to till the fill plug, yese your correct 2.whatever..
