Thanks for the write up. I did this at 13931 miles. Just a couple of note I want to add.
#1 My transmission hadt always been notchy since it was new, I was too cheap and lazy to do this job. When it was completed yesterday, the transmission felt so much smoother. I still get the occasional notch in second, but it was nowhere close to what it was. All the other gears felt smoother. If I were to do over, I would probably change it after a few months. #2 My car has about 12 track days, 450 autox runs and some easy street miles, the fluid were completely black after 13931 miles. #3 I used Amsoil 75W90 GL-4. Please make sure you use GL-4 as the brass in the transmission doesn't like GL-5 fluids. My car had 3 quart coming in, 3.5 went back in. #4 I bought my fluid pump from Harbor Freight, it was like $6.99. The pump is excellent as it is fast and doesn't leak. #5 The drainplug and fill plug are 9mm hex if i recall correctly, maybe 8mm, but i am pretty sure it is 9mm Differential fluid tonight |

Great write up. I definitely need to do this, my shifts into first and second are always rough compared to our 3000gt and camaro in the lower gears. +1 rep for OP

Hello, stupid question I guess but here it is. I put 3 quarts in but it didn't overflow. Is that enough oil for the M/T?
I have been driving it, seems fine, but I have to ask.. Thanks.. |

Basically, just keep pumping until it starts to overflow, then you're good.

Was your Z raised on a level surface when you were draining and filling the tranny? I've filled and drained several Z trannys and they never take more than three quarts.

I was also wondering if it's worth buying the 4th quart just in case, or have people been fine with buying 3?
