Which is the transmission filler plug. the Square peg? Or the Star shaped peg? Not sure..........

star

Dude its the ******* star on the drivers side. I've pulled my tranny many times... I had to us an allan wrench to open it.

Joe Flo 01-06-2003 09:36 PM

You got to be kidding me!!!!!!!! I thought it was too but I already put itin the square one. Now what do I do???? Does it even matter?

rx7trix 01-06-2003 09:41 PM

hell, just open the star one and stick your finger in.... if you can feel fluid you're good

Joe Flo 01-06-2003 09:43 PM

I just did a clutch swap and I spilled alot of fluid. I spent $16 at the dealer for 3 qts of their fluid and I just want to know where it went!! Will it hurt my car???

man I dont know, if the star and the "square" plug go to the same place then no your car will be fine... when I changed out my tranny I drained it with the big ass 22mm or 23mm bolt (cant remember exact size) on the bottom of the tranny, and I filled it through the hole with the "star" shaped indention in it. Just like the shop manual shows.



do you have a shop manual?

Joe Flo 01-06-2003 09:50 PM

yeah....but the picture sucks. It looked to me like it was the square one. When I uncapped it I felt a liquid. It was dirty like old oil so I figured that was it. Maybe they are the same.....I don't know.

I think you're ok. tranny oil is thick! like molasis
