anybody know what sizes these circle items are?

 

^^ should be 24mm.

 

27mm for the top reverse sensor 24mm for the bottom. the front is the fill, the rear is the drain, or maybe because i lifted the front of the car on jacks. it wasn't that hard to do (if i had all the parts at once) and to be honest i haven't notice a huge difference but it is smoother. at least if anything I'm averaging 28MPG-32MPG

 

thanks, youre right. i was guessing it was 23 or 24mm so i bought both. I returned the 23mm when i recycled my oil, so no biggie.

 

I just changed my gear oil with MT-90 and I absolutely love it. It was so smooth right out of the shop. I had a local shop change it for 20, in about half an hour. It is well worth changing to this oil.

 

.

im so happy 100% everybody is saying the same thing because i have 3 bottles of it sitting next to me right now - im just waiting for a good time to change it. I think im going to change it next weekend or the weekend after that.

 

Its pretty much like butter shifting now, theres no 'crunch' noise when you shift. It is alot easier to shift into reverse too. No double clutching needed.

 

How tight do you make the plugs when you put them back on?

 

No need to torque them super tight...just good and snug like you would do with you engine oil drain plug

 

yeah.. i accidentally torqued the drain plug a little too much after i was done (making sure they were tight and stuff)... and uhh... crushed the gasket.. ... it got a leak and yeah.... had to open that sucker up to replace it....

my friend helped me remove it and plugged it with his finger while we quickly replaced the gasket and put the plug back on without losing too much oil (and the tranny case was still abit hot... ..)

thank you dave at stevens creek scion for saving me from my stupid mistake..

yeah.... don't over tighten it.

 

when you say u over tightend it ..did you REALLy put force into it? ....im just wondering because I might actually do mine tomorrow and can not run into the same problem you did.

 

yeah.. i put ALOT of force into it.. .... car was lifted up.. used my body with a fairly long wrench...

oops... yeah.... umm... i wish i could give you numbers,,, but use your nest judgement... i wasn't thinking at the time when i did it.

 

read about this a while back, now maybe I'll give it a shot one of these days

 

yeah.. defiinitely worth it in my opinion.

cost me about $25 to do?

 

I have the s/c in my car. I was not able to get my hand down to where the sensor is. If I would have known that before hand I would have performed the swap before my s/c was installed a few weeks ago. Please put that in your top post.

 

When you tighen it ,don't put all you strength into it. Minimum force was needed.

 

I think I paid $8/bottle. So yeah, around $25. It's definately a good product.

 

you probably would have an easier time filling up using the fill plug itself. for about $6-10 you can find a nice pump that you can use at an auto store or somewhere. otherwise using a transmission funnel thing might be difficult.. it's cheaper.. but i would think a pump is much more convienent and worth it to buy.

 

interesting - i didnt know the piece would be that cheap. do you have a pic online of the product I would need?

 

unless you rig it w/ a tube and bike pump (or car tire pump) ....the pumping units are around $2-3,000.00
