Take off the shifter and add it from the top :thumbsup:

 

Thank you. I still cleaning the oil off of me!

 

I prefer to take the top bolt out of either of the PTO covers and pump it in there. That snap ring on the shifter is a major PITA.

Whatever gets the job done though.

Overfilling

Thanks for the suggestion also. This does sound easy.

 

How much should you overfill it?

 

overfill it until it comes out the top pto bolt cover. its much more difficult to put the shifter back in than it is to take it out. i simply use a cheap autozone pump and pump it in through the top bolt hole.

 

Ok thanks! i have changed the trans fluid, but never overfilled it...when do you know your tranny is starting to go?

 

DONACA04: ha yeah im wondering the same thing about the tranny. cut my 5th gear is going out i need new bearrings and syncro for it.

 

While you have the tranny drained of oil take off one of the pto covers and weld a new fill plug at the top of it it makes the over fill pretty easy the takin the shifter out takes two people to put it back in

 

i put in a "street" elbow. its an elbow that has threads that threads into my tranny than the other side fits the plug i take the plug out and i fill it to the top of that ninety... works good for me... hopefully that makes sence to u guys haha

 

i was in bc once and was told the street elbow trick, must be a local thing

 

I use the street elbow. Either that or the pto bolt method with a pump is much easier than pulling the shifter.

 

Very cool. I know street elbow. Sweet.

 

When I got my 92 the guy told me they had just rebuilt the tranny. Sweet right! Wrong... Musta drove it hard or did it wrong cause when I got home I changed all the fluids and they where running the thinkest stuff I had ever seen. So ya my syncros are already out gonna have to rebuild it again. And I have no clue what thats gonna $$$

 

Just fire up the fork lift and lift it from the side to about a 30 degree angle, open the plug and FILL-ER-UP! :rof

 

for those who dont know. looks like i didnt even use a street-elbow, its what i wanted to use but i had a ninety and a short nipple by the looks of it. maybe help some people with some ideas
