T5 oil change
I will be changing the fluid in my tranny in the near future (using synthetic) and I will also be upgrading the shifter (Tri-ax).
I am wondering if when the shifter mechanism is off the top of the T5, is it possible to refill the transmission with fluid from this location ? I have changed the fluid in the past using the fill hole, on the side, and it was a major pain. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

That will definitely work. In fact, I drilled some access holes under the shift boot cover so I can remove the shifter without disassembling the entire center console just so I could do fluid changes through the shifter opening.
Just make sure you either put the exact amount in or open the fill hole and add fluid until it spills. Take care, Rich D. |

Just what he said. You can refill it through there....my tranny leaks and I add fluid through there all the time.

I wonder how you know its full? Do you just leave the fill plug out and wait till it starts coming out. I went to auto zone and bought a $3 pump and put a washer fluid bottle on it and pumped it in that way.
