On the pass. side of trans is 2 plugs, top and bottom. Remove top plug and fill w/oil till it starts to flow back out. Install plug. Done.

Default oh

hopefully its not too late ...

be nice to the fill and drain plug heads ....

get your good wrench on there straight and nice ..

do they look boogered up a bit already ??

It may be a sign that the plug threads are stuck ...

stop and think twice.... or 4 times like I do so often ..........

Vise grips Super super tight and the best pair of sharp teeth

on the vise grips... even buy a new set of top quality good ones...

with curved jaws ... not parallel .....

they will grab 20 times better ... than the used pair ...

oh ..... I like to put my little finger in the fill plug to check level of

the oil .........

very good idea for a lube change on the tranny and differential ...

Scott
