I got a side shift trani for my project, I installed it with the assumption that there was oil in there and that I would drive the car for a few miles then change the gear oil. Today I drove the car for about 15 miles for the first time. The car shifts great, no girding. All gears are in place.

When I return I jacked up the car on the pas sideto change the oil. Removed the top bolt, it was dry. I proceeded by removing the bottom plug, still no oil, I am thinking there is very litle and I need to jack it on the driver,s side. I did and still no oil.

You need to set the car on the ground Paul. The fluid is running to the front of the trani with the ass in the air. It may be dry still, but needs to level to get accurate reading.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Try to get it as level as possible and check again. If its dry, fill it up and never assume anything again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I agree I should never assume. I filed it up already, it took 2 quarts . Just wanted to share and find it strange to drive fine with no oil.

The oil makes a difference. There was a compression like noise in second gear, it's gone now .
