R154 fill plug?

[Freshmaker]

A fair amount of oil dumped out of my tranny when I was putting my engine back in. Which plug is the oil-level bolt?

I thought it was the large bolt, 1/2 way up the tranny, near where the tranny mounts to the body. But, that bolt is Super tight. I wasn't sure, so I wanted to check before I really yanked on it.

the fill and drain plugs always seem to be really tight...

I use a jack (not kidding) to push up on a wrench to pop them free...

IIRC that is the bolt though, it's gonna be about the same size as the drain bolt...

they are exactly the same actually heh. the lower is drain the upper is fill

Don't tighten it so much when you are done.
Make it easier next time.

or just fill from the top like normal peoples

Thanks everyone

Cyro, I could, but how would I know how much to put in?

Until you have it up to the fill hole. I think. But i know it calls for 3.2 qts.

Have someone look under the car while you slowly fill from the top.

If my memory serves me correctly, 15/16" fits the drain and fill plugs on the R154. I believe it is actually 24mm but 15/16" works just fine.

+1

or just do a lil at a time if your alone.

Yea, but either way (from the top or fill plug) that fill plug is going to have to come out.

I prefer to do it under the vehicle, gear oil does not make a good car air freshener.

yup, just take off the shift knob and pour. :sarcasm:

me, I fill from the top. doesn't smell and is far easier than using the fill plug. 3qts did mine perfect. redline mt-90 was my oil of choice.

I am special... I get to ride the short bus to work..:aigo: :biglaugh: :naughty:

I know it was a semi-stupid car, but figured I would ask instead of trying and doing something stupid.
