I was a cop there so I know what you have to choose from. Watch out for the cross dressers. They have sticks too! :rolling:

The topic is about Re-fillling the tranny A.J

Not filling the trannie :laughing:

I'm just glad you know the difference! Are you sure you won't have to check its dipstick first? :laughing:

 

[hoopty]

I've heard that TRANNIE"S have a pump of their own.:rolling::rolling::rolling:

I think we have managed to completely hijack and derail alini's thread! :thud:

I use one of these, works great. You'll need something like that.

After filling the trans, you need to run the car through the gears either on a lift or jacked up.
The engine must be running while topping off the fluid to assure all lines & cooler are filled also.
Then I like to road test and re-check the level again (engine running)

Looks like AJ edited my link to show the pic in the link.

You can get these at Northern tool. com for around $35.

Would'nt know I own a manual 03 Z06

Which I change the fluid every spring Via a pump

I assumed you have an automatic which I've never owned in a Corvette

All my vettes have been manual

Just trying to help

I got the Vette for a steal at the time and it was a leisure weekend car, we didnt buy it just for performance. Once Chevy releases the option code I want Im trading it in for that, with a stick.

I ain't mad at ya, just letting ya know I have skill enough to maintain my car

I'll have to find one of those, defintely worth the investment.

well guys, i have an automatic in my 99, i know male from female and what should have a knob and what shouldnt. i have tortured people asking them to check my tranny fluid for me with the hood up. fun to look at their faces when they cant figure it out. now, what is the best way to change tranny fluid on these? flush and fill at the dealer, or DIY drop the pan and filter yourself?

No flushing! Drop the pan change the filter and refill. It doesn't take that long at all. Get a new gasket too and don't forget to properly torque the bolts or you may crush the gasket and create a leak.

isnt the torque spec like 10 inch pounds?

[hoopty]

I have been torquing them to 96 inch pounds. Pretty close to what they specify. I haven't had any problems yet. Just remember to torque them a few times as the gasket will compress.:thumbsup:

 

[vettex2]

harbor frieght used to have em for 6-7 bucks

[Junkman2008]

Anything is better than the one I used. It works but overall , it sucked.

 

[vettex2]
