transmission fluid change - in progress

whysoSERious · 2008-09-04 13:46:38

So my BG Sycroshift II came in today, and I went out to actually do it, and felt I should post here before doing so.

I wanted to confirm 3 things.

1. http://img71.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0223tw6.jpg (fill hole?)

2. http://img67.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0225mm7.jpg (drain hole?)

3. 3 quarts is enough for an 07, right?

(sorry for the shitty images, I was using a camera phone, and trying to do it while being under the car)

Eh not sure on the 07' But 02-06 uses 2 3/8ths. Look at your cars manual. It will have fluid specifications in there. It will tell you how much the trans. holds.

MajorMods · 2008-09-04 16:27:57

yep, correct holes and 3 quarts is enuff, just not sure how much under ur supposed to use. 2 1/2 is probly average

I was just gonna fill it until it starts oozing out. And in the manual, it doesnt list the capacities, just what type of oil to use.

Riley DeathDealer · 2008-09-06 05:21:40

so how much did it take and did u have to do any thing after u changed it?

whysoSERious · 2008-09-06 06:07:07

I will let you know tomorrow morning, that is when I am going to do it. Didn't get a chance the last couple days, as I had to work 12 hour shifts at work.

Wow...that was a pain in the ass. The fill and drain holes were put on so tight it took me forever to get them off. Next time, I'll go to speedee and pay $30 to have it changed, in my opinion, its not worth it to do it yourself (unless you have an impact wrench, which i dont.)

On the other note, i STRONGLY suggest the BG Syncoshift II. Both the clutch and the gears feel so smooth now. Definitely a cheap mod for those not looking to spend too much.

plalm · 2008-09-06 19:34:01

is there a specific weight you used? and where did you get the stuff? i found some royal purple gear oil but wasn't sure what weight to use.

whysoSERious · 2008-09-06 20:00:52

I ordered it from here: https://secure.buschurracing.com/catalo … cts_id=825

You can't specify the weight on the site, they sent me 75w-80 gl-4.

It feels really smooth going from gears 1-6. But after i put the clutch in, and go to put it in reverse, it feels like it resists, and u have to shove it in. It doesn't grind or anything, but it doesn't just pop in anymore. If i do that, and leave the clutch down, it will smoothly go into reverse until i re let the clutch out. I don't know why this is, but since there is no grinding, i assume that there is no problem. Overall, I'm happy with it.

whysoSERious · 2008-09-07 13:45:55

Has this happened to anyone who has changed the fluid before?
Not really worried about it like i said, but anyone have an idea of why it does that, or is there something wrong?

silverspec · 2008-09-07 14:32:13

Reverse gears are straight cut gears. Therefor They are harder to engage than the regular 1-6 gears. I wouldnt worry about a thing. Your good to go

DARK RICHARDHAUNTER · 2008-09-09 21:27:12

Can you post a pic where both holes look from the top?

where are they exactly?

BTW isnt it dangerous to use a non OEM trnny oil?

jc723 · 2008-10-11 22:40:11

i just did this and feel NO diff at all.. after all the good things i head about this fluid and 50 bux later i was expecting alot more.

plalm · 2008-10-11 23:14:12

but honestly why would you expect much out of something like this? it's just an oil when it comes down to it? I'm gonna be doing this soon. I already flatfoot shift as it is when racing ppl and when i;m at the track, I don't expect a difference in feeling but i would hope overall it's worth it overall.

so why are you spending 50 bux if you dont expect anything out of it? if it just oil why dont you get 2 quarts for 10 bux? you dont make sence

ive read alot of the threads around here and everyone said that they felt a big difference. not sure what kind of difference but nothing here..
