Does anyone know what size hose is needed to fit right in the hole on the side of the tranny?

Thanks

 

I don't know off the top of my head, but I think it was 3/8 OD.

Make sure you get enough to pour from the top, it makes it much easier than trying to pump it from below.

 

yeah I was going to do it from the top.

Thank you!

 

1/2" OD at the max.

1/2" OD works great.

 

smaller will work but it turns it int a 1 beer project not a 3 beer project

Both have their advantages

I use duct tape to attach a funnel and hose to the PS res / strut bar (if avaliable) and just let gravity do it's thing

 

Did someone say beer project
Side note: My brother in law works for Anheuser Busch, soooooooo, all the free beer I can drink. I know, I know, AB, but they have Landshark and some others that are OK. Plus everything tastes a little better when it's free. Anyway, every project in my garage uses liberal amounts of beer.

 

I am in Nor Cal and have a A busch pal ... they use beer (that they get for free !) as currency
He has taught me that EVERYTHING has a "beer value"....parts, labor, time, MORE & it is quite universal ... even with exchange rates it still works

 

Yeah, I'm Norcal too, near FF AB plant. I've used the currency a few times myself

 

By the way, anyone get that tranny oil changed yet? Just curious, what are you putting in?

 

Stock trans fluid for me.

How's the flywheel rattle with the stock fluid? I ran Redline 75-90 for a long time with the stock FW, and it made a big difference in shift action. Very smooth and slick. Now with the lightweight FW, I've had Danny's special, Reline 75-90 and now Royal Purple 85-140. The RP is a bit stiff when cold, and not quite as slick as the Redline in shifting, but takes a good deal of the idle rattle away.
Anyway, just rambling, curious as to what others are using.

 

redline MTL

 

Lightweight FW?

 

+1, very smooth shifts with MTL
