Fluid - M/T: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
2. Clean any dirt from around the fill plug.
3. Remove the fill plug from the transmission.
4. Check that the transmission fluid level is even with the bottom of the fill plug hole.
5. Add Dexron(R) III transmission fluid, if necessary.
6. Install the fill plug to the transmission.
- Tighten the manual transmission fill plug to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.).

NOTICE: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

7. Lower the vehicle.
