Tranny fluid change on 6MT?

JAYNO20 · 12-01-2012, 11:48 PM

I just changed my transmission fluid, wanted to change over to redline mt-85. I have read a bunch of different reports on how much fluid should be in the transmission. Service manual says 2.8 pints which is like 1.5 quarts... I read to put it in until it comes out of the fill hole, but 3 quarts later its still not coming out.

What is the final say on this? How is the service manual this wrong?

I just checked my service manual and it says the transmission uses 6pts, or 2.83 liters, which is roughly 3quarts.

Yup, I remember using about 3L when I changed mine.

Just keep filling until it overflows.

Has anyone used heavy shockproof in these tranny yet? Any results? I'm thinking of switching since I'll be doing summer only driving

Guess I need to buy another quart then...

Anyone know the cheapest place to get redline mt-85 that doesn't charge an arm and a leg for shipping (since all I need is one quart)

Amazon has it on prime, free two-day shipping, 3.99 one-day
