Rokhound Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 What is the best way to fill and remove fluid from the t-case and tranny. T-CASE The t-case I found that a ¾ socket plug on the bottom (caution this is spring loaded and has a piece of metal at the end of the spring) of the t-case I removed it and fuild came out is this right. Now how do I fill it there is 2 BIG plugs on the back one higher than the other so my guess is that is were the filler plug right?? TRANNY The tranny I take it is that female plug on the back of the tranny take that out and then fill from the top of the tranny. Or that is what I have heard here is this right. How much gear oil do I need for the tranny. And the t-case take ATF so how much?? Any tips would be nice what to do not to do.

Mudshovel_009 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 ha ha ha ha ha, not being mean, but that's funny..... what plug did you pull out of tranny, only the asian trany has a drain plug, the chrysler trans does not, you must remove pan. Did you put the detent back in correctly? TRavis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Then the trans is a Peugeot BA-10 and you'll need to fashion a square drive to remove the plugs. Most guys take an old 3/8" ratchet extension and grind it down to fit snug. If I remember right they are both on the passenger side of the trans. It's been a while since I've had one so hopefully someone else will chime in. And from now on, always, always, always, make sure you can remove the fill plug before you remove the drain plug. Just in case you have difficulties with the fill plug. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oizarod115 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 drain plug was on the back (tail end near the ouutput) of my BA10 IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Rokhound.....I remenber that song ;) Anywho.....here's some pictures for you....and other's The top picture is a BA10, and use Pete's idea for the "wrench" And that is the T-case.....with instructions ;) I don't remenber how much ATF the T-case takes....2 qts or so, but when it comes out the fill hole.....you got it. The BA10 takes 4.5 pts for '87, and '88 -'89 take 4.9 pts. SAE 75W-90 I use a "suction gun" to fill both, put hose in can, pull back rod to load gun, put tube in fill hole, and push rod in and fill. Works best for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfpdm Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 What is the best way to fill and remove fluid from the t-case and tranny. I found that if you take the tranny cross member out, hoist the engine, and then let the tranny hang down, the fluid comes out pretty good. :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNL1MTD Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Then the trans is a Peugeot BA-10 and you'll need to fashion a square drive to remove the plugs. Most guys take an old 3/8" ratchet extension and grind it down to fit snug. If I remember right they are both on the passenger side of the trans. I just did mine. 2wd, but the fill is definitely on the pass side. And for me the drain is at the rear of the housing. Fill and Drain take an 8mm square key. I opted to use a piece of 5/16th aluminum stock at the hardware store instead of the 3/8ths extension. THe stock was about 2 dollars. I filled it down until it fit the plug (not much). Then I put it in a vice and bent it into a "L" shape like an allen key. Works awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok here is the deal guys I found the square plug on the back of the tranny and made my square tool out of 5/16 square stock for less than $2 Like UNL1MTD said So I drain the fluid and now I am ready to refill the tranny and I am looking for this square plug on the passenger side of the drain. Now there is 3 of them, one in the front, one toward the back and on top of the one in the back there is one more for a total of 3 so which one is the fill plug. My thought is the very top plug on the passenger side of the tranny is this right???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Don't know for sure which it is, but for future reference it is always a wise idea to make sure you can get the fill plug out of the trans before you drain the fluid.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could get just under 2qts of fluid in it using this plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rokhound Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 I saw that one. the one I used was around the cross member and then right above that there is one more I will go out and try to get a pic of the 2 plug that i am speaking about.

Wildman Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Rokhound - If you go back to the previous page on this topic, I think you'll find the info your looking for. The filler plug in in the rear, middle of the case, on the passenger side, and it takes 4.5 pints of 80W90 oil, 2 and 1/2 quarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
