How to add gear lube in manual transmission?

Straight 50w synthetic is what it will likely take not gear lube. Check with the dealer. Should be a plug on the side of the trans that looks like the drain plug. 1/2" drive will fit in it.

 

Usually the shops use a hand pump that a hose with a small end that sort of hooks into the port of the tyranny. The pump is designed to fit onto a five gallon pail.

 

Please don't take this wrong............but if you don't know how to add it............how do you even know it's low??

 

Just a side note. Most manual transmissions like 13sp Eton will use synthetic transmission 50w fluid. Not gear oil.


75w-80. Transmission fluid for volvo

 

You'll still need a long handled 1/2" drive ratchet to get the fill/level plug out. Usually its on the driver's side about half way up and a little ways back from the bellhousing. Might have to feel around for it because it can be a bit too tight to fit your head in to see it.

 

I would definitely call the dealer with my VIN # to find out exactly what type of oil goes in there if I was OP.

 

my super 10 by eaton is a 15/16 size square plug, can use crescent too. I use the pump off of the 5 gal but in day's past used a long 1" hose with a funnel at top & poured in ever so slightly as to not waste much running over. my wt was & is 50 wt. not sure any any other type or year. would put finger in hole & if fluid was present, it's good. if not add.

 

Pull in lube bay at Speedco and tell them to top it off.
Should never need oil unless it is leaking.
