while changing the shifter console on my tranny, i occasioned to lose a bunch of fluid. does any one have a method to get the fluid from the can up into the fill hole ? while we're here what kind of oil should we use.

a 1 quart bottle of gear oil will fit if you go from the back passenger side.
You have to squeeze it, but no hose is needed....just the squirting tip on the end.

Use GL5 normal gear oil, whatever you find locally.
DO NOT use synthetic.

Its something that lasts for a very long time.
the syncros are made for normal dino oil...synthetic is actually not good for these trannies.

I get 75/90W oil that is GL5

thanks rich, am just waiting for my cb performance linkage to come and car should be on the road this weekend

I use a pump. They sell them at most auto parts places. You can even use an old Orange grit soap bottle pump and a piece of hose( just clean it good first).

Yup. Cheap pump from a FLAPS. Messy, but way easier on you then the squeeze bottle.

After I removed the rear anti-roll bar there were holes in my trunk that I could thread a hose through. Now I have a funnel attached to a thin hose, just thread the hose through the trunk and into the transaxle then pour (slowly) into the funnel.

managed to squeeze in 2 1/2 bottles with no problem, started to overflow, stuck in the plug, got it right first try... wait, i never get anything right on the first try. crap i bet my tranny doesn't work now.
