First Jack your vehicle up by the jack points and secure the vehicle with the axle/jack stands. NEVER GO UNDER A VEHICLE SUPPORTED ONLY BY THE JACK! Next we will locate and remove the filler bolt. In some cases the filler bolt will become completely siezed that heating it won't even work. Or the filler bolt may become stripped. If this happens to you, you don't want to this to happen with an empty transmission. In the first image we see the bottom of the transmission looking up.
The recessed bolt on the bottom is the drain. The square head on the side is the filler. Loosen the filler by selecting the proper wrench (not an adjustable one!) and turn the wrench counter clockwise. If the bolt doesn't let go; spray the wd-40 on the bolt and let sit for 1 hour. Don't force it too much as it may break.
You can use a propane, or MPS gas torch to heat the housing around the bolt and then gently apply pressure to loosen it. In the picture you can see I used the wd-40 If the bolt still won't budge. Lower the car and visit a shop for service in rare cases the transmission must be removed and taken to a machine shop. If you get the bolt loose. Unscrew it, but don't remove it completely. I have a few problems with this instructable.
1/ Oil draining and filling must be done on the level so ramps aren't enough and must have jacks at the other end. 2/ Modern oils are vehicle specific and the wrong oil can cause expensive damage to a gearbox. (If you put EP oil into the illustrated Nissan you will not get 2nd gear on a cold morning) 3/ On some front wheel drive gearboxes the bung that looks like a filler bung is only a level bung.
If you get it wrong you're putting no oil into some of the gearbox. Having said that changing gearbox oil is a great idea. I owned a transmission shop foe 40 years, most of my work came from poor maintenance. These are pretty good instructions I just think you left out a few details that may help. Make sure you have the correct fluid for your trans. The owners manual is not the best place to find out pull the fill plug and stick your finger in there to be sure.
Some manual trans. Take 10w30 motor oil some take dextron auto trans fluid some take hypoid oil. It can be different in the same year, what is in there is correct regardless what the store/manual says. The fluid should be changed while hot or at very least warm It's not very safe or fun but it is the best way to get all of the grit out.
It also makes the plugs easer to remove. If you have a plug that wont come out wire brush all around the plug before you use the penetrating oil or torch helps the oil wick in the threads and reduces the risk of setting the trans on fire. I also change the fluid in the rear end at the same time because nobody ever thinks about the rear fluid until it fails or starts making noise. He's referring to the drive axle(s) in rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles. The drive axle(s) have differentials in them and the fluid in these assemblies must also be changed periodically - typically at the same time as the transmission oil. In 4WD vehicles there is also a transfer case bolted to the rear of the transmission, and it, too, requires period oil changes.
If your vehicle has front-wheel drive, your drive axle and transmission are built as a single assembly known as a transaxle. Never trust the oil that's in your vehicle as being the correct oil, unless you know the oil is factory original, or you know exactly what went in at the last change. Don't trust what a shop tells you or what you requested to be used, as all too often shops will cut corners.

I'm sorry, but i couldn't disagree more. The manual was written for your vehicle and will mention what oil you should use for the driving style, and temperature you're driving in. In some cases there are a variety of transmissions for a specific vehicle. If you're not certain contact dealer, as they will know what goes in the car. I have a 1997 jeep wrangler 5 spd. I know where and how. But I just cant figure out how to get the oil into the filler hole.
I tried a siphon tupe but that just ended up being fubar. I saw some mention of pumps.

I wasn't able to find one at the parts store - suggestions there? Also - I agree it is important to do as I just bought this tranny brand new after 160k mi (oops) I torture the poor girl.
But I had a 1989 VW that I drove very very hard for 380k mi - never replaced the clutch never touched the fluid, what did her in was a moose in Maine. so you never know.
If your local parts store does not stock them then find a different parts store! Go to the counter and ask for a gear oil / lube pump! It looks like a over sized hand lotion pump with a small hose attached They are running around $12 on Ebay depending on the requirement of your car you will need 1 to 3 Qts of either 80-90w gear oil (lube) or 120W I recommend you have 2 sets of old clothes a sheet of painters plastic and keep young children out of the area because of a PG rating on your project!: once you have the fluid drained & have replaced the drain plug it is just a matter of pumping the new lube in to the tranny do not worry about overfilling the tranny once it starts coming out the fill hole it is full. Hopefully you put plastic under the car before you started makes clean up easier!
Also cover the drivers seat because you will want to move the car for clean up. Now for the reason I said 2 sets of old clothes one set you will throw away. The other set will get you in the house and to the shower.
Nothing in your car smells worst than gear lube! If you can work with the wear a pair of vinyl gloves (Saves time in cleaning under your nails)! Hello, I found it very helpful because everybody just speak about 'automatic transmissions' blah blah. I have a 1985 Nissan Pick up truck (yeah, a relish, I guess) and wasn't sure if I could change the trasmission fluid. Now that I know it's not only possible, but necessary, I'd like you to help me by telling me where can I find the refill cap?
I mean, usually every refill cap is easy to locate when you open the hood. But in this particular case. I cannot locate it. Can you please help me with this? It would be very appreciated. Thank you in advance!
