240sx: changing transmission fluid / oil on s13

Post by **sanioll** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 6:05 pm

finished result.

Follow reverse order to put it back together.

make sure to put plastic rings or rubber bands on top and bottom part of new Lower Rubber Boot. I simply used rubber bands. put them on tight. you dont want your vehicle to smell like a gear oil inside.

I'm guessing this DIY doesn't belong to 240sx--general chat forum.

how to move it to appropriate section?

EDIT: FINAL UPDATE; AFTER 8 MONTHS OF USE, NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. SHIFTING IS NORMAL IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS, AND NO GEAR OIL ODOURS WHATSOEVER.

I found that a 17mm wrench and hammer worked well for the fill plug.

nice tip, Travis that open end wrench or a big pipe wrench would make quick work on the fill plug...

mods; where are the pix???

where did all the pictures go?

17mm box-end. Won't slip as easy.

werd: a 12-point box end wrench... i had a 6 point only sooo.... <shrugs>

I thought "box end" meant the full circle, and "open end" would mean the "c" shaped type that only grips on two sides (which might be more prone to slipping and messing up the bolt head if the thing's on really tight). I'm not trying to nitpick or anything, just wondering if my terminology is correct.

terminology is correct...

but a 12 point box end = a closed square shape that would bite into all 4 sides... get it? (nah, u needed a bigger size box wrench to fit over the square end, which i didn't have... grr )

soo, i had one of these in my dad's toolbox:

i took the largest one, said a few expletives then, took the remnants of a floor lamp: the hollow sectioned pipe to use as a cheater bar on this tool... it werx!!!

as for teh drain plug, i used a torque wrench borrowed from autozone (hehe ) & it came off quickly...

so now, my car has fresh redline GL4 goodness!~

a 3/4in. box wrench also works on the fill plug, if you have it laying around and don't have a 17mm.

anyone got pics of where the drain plug and fill plug is? so you open teh drain plug and drain all the oil from the tranny and fill it up and itll use about 2.5 quarts right?

Sannioll, are you using some medium for pictures that some of us aren't privvy to?? I see no pictures at all of parts, pieces, etc. Don't think you mentioned a filter, either, did you??

Post by **ricebike** » Wed Nov 15, 2006 9:06 am

sxxy, this applies to manual transmissions only

mod betta change the title to reflect this??? also applies to s14s as well since they're basically the same trans (w/ the latter having an extra sensor)

& what up w/ da pix?

2slow, i am gonna flame u a little bit... nah, drain plug on the bottom/just look for a square recessed plug! fill plug is a square extended plug to the driver side of the trans da OP's thread again!

Bump - Needs editing...

Post by **sanioll** » Thu Nov 30, 2006 1:42 am

sorry mates, I do not have those pictures anymore. For some reason they were deleted from the thread. see my signature for DIY stuff. Out of all, I think only one thread still contains the pictures. Makes me wonder why in the world i wasted my time taking those pictures with my oily hands, and then editing them. ehh.

Hey S -

Were they hosted somewhere or were they attachments?

Post by **jt15833** » Sat Aug 21, 2010 9:14 am

sorry to bring this one back but when I wanted to reinstall my shifter I had 2 snap rings, one without holes at the end for use with the snap ring pliers. Had no idea wtf to do with this guy so I bought an ISIS short shifter and I like it. But does anyone know if there are even 2 snap rings above the shifter or just the 1?

thanks
