Any write up on how to DIY Manual Transmission Fluid?

*Edit, while on the subject, how about clutch fluid and rear diff fluid? Are there info's on these 3 on recommendation brand/qts used?

Mine needs to be changed and I'm watching to do as much homework as I can before I take it to a corvette specialist garage.


Any help is greatly appreciated it, thanks

Nobody? There are not DIY write ups for these couple of tasks?

theres a install for a T/A rear differential cover on installuniversity.com. From what I have read on here,
Manual Transmission Fluid Change: Jack up the car or drive up on ramps and find the tranny drain plug on teh bottom and drain. Find the filler up on one of the sides and fill with 4 qts of ATF.
Rear Differential: unbolt the cover with a catch pan underneath (no drain plug for stock cover) so be careful and just loosen the bottom first. Use RTV as a gasket and replace cover. Fill differential up to the fill hole, Must jack up the front end as well to keep the car at a level angle to prevent from filling up to much or not enough.

Any more details would be helpful to me, especially the clutch lines and pics for the rest, im hoping to attempt each of these relatively soon.

My guess is you'd want the trans/car to be level when filling?

just did a clutch last weeked and it your just doing fluid change thats so easy. you have a drain plug on one side and a fill plug on other side. you use a reg 3\8 drive ratchet to loosen\tighten both plugs. you dont use a socket just the actual head of the rathcet. drain fluid completely then tighten plug back up. go to other side open fill plug and use a hand trasnfer pump to get new fluid in trust me that works 100% easier and faster. i used BG synchroshift that stuff is awesome. fill it until it starts to come out of fill plug and throw fill plug back in and done!! go get the hand transfer pump at any parts store its like $5 it screw on to the bottle and just pump the fluid in.

as far as clutch fluid you jsut pretty much bleed new fluid completely through the system till its nice and clean
