HELP! Gear Oil change on a sedan
I just got the Amsoil 75w-90 gear oil for my manual Sedan.
Never change tranny oil before. Where is the plug located? Is it hard to change?? Should I go to a shop or can i do it my self? Help! |

Trany Fill & Drain Plug
I would have gotten this up earlier, but have been busy. I hope this is easy enough for you to figure out.

Here's a picture from underneath an mr2 (mk1), which is the same as on the Yaris:
On our cars we can also fill from on top the transmission, since our 20-year-old transmissions often have stripped/stuck fill bolts. (The shiny hole in the picture) Be careful because the bolts have very flat heads, so your sockets will have a hard time keeping grip. Some people have ground down the ends of their sockets because the ends of sockets are rounded. |

buy some metric snap-on sockets, youll be fine worth every penny

Several years ago I picked up a socket set (Met Wrench) that grips the flats vs edges on metric and standard that work real dam good! I have a little bit of everything and do like every thing about Snap On, but the price.

Thanks for the help.
BTW, changing gears feels so much smoother after the change! |
