car has 93k+ on it.

So far only has a 3' intake and ottp 4th gen H/E

I only changed out the oil ever 3-5k miles + filter

Coolant fluid when i did the H/E

also brand new tires,brakes. Havent touched the suspension

Nothing else was done. Now i have some ticking noise but finding out it could be chain tensioner.

Anything else do i need to get done asap?

 

Trans.

Supercharger oil

 

how hards the trans oil to change never done it on manual

 

i will do the charger oil when i upgrade the pulley/injectors

 

trans oil is easy.

1. put the car on a lift.
2. grab a oil pan thingy
3. pull out drain plug.
4. wait until all fluid has stopped coming out.
5. put drain plug in
6. take fill plug out
7. fill with new oil until it flows out of the fill hole.
8. put fill plug back in
9. lower car

easy 5-10 min job

 

There's a drain plug on the bottom. And on the side a fill plug. Can't remember how much to put in or when u can tell it's full

 

Wrong.

Please, oh please, for the love of God, follow this.

got a buddy that will help me do all my maintence once he gets back from school otherwise im out in a parkin lot doing it

 

3a) *Side note* - This is why the How-To, (On this forum), is incorrect. The OP used 75W-90, WITH limited-slip additives. He is throwing differential gear fluid, in his transmission. The fluid is too slippery for proper synchronizer operation.

from the link he posted

 

Yes. What Nigel said. He used the wrong fluid in the how-to, and NO GOD DAMMIT FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DO NOT FILL IT UNTIL IT DRIBBLES OUT!!!!!!!! THAT IS WRONG!!!!!!!!

I am not trying to be a dick, but I shouldn't need to explain. I gave you a link that with a ton of information that a good friend of mine made (he worked at a dealership for a long time), and I post it every time someone questions this stuff. It just gets old repeating it.

 

oh ya make sure its tranny fluid. i thought he meant about the filling part

 

Well yeah it only takes 1.7 quarts. If you fill until it dribbles you're looking at like 2.5 quarts..

And for the love of god, only use GM fluid. The part numbers are in that thread.

 

is there a good indicator for filling it? or just try to estimate 1.7q ?

nvm ur next post answered this question lol

 

Yeah dude if you need I can help you. You live 15 minutes from me.

 

my tranny was just repaired under warrenty so i gots all new fluid anyway.

 

Good

 

where u at and what color is your balt anyway?

 

i might have u guys that are close to me help me do some repairs = )

honestly havent met anyone that owns a SS and actually KNOWS wtf they are talking about

 

I'll help you man, you're not far at all. I met you at Strats back in fall (I think it was you) if you remember. I have a Yellow SS/SC. Just let me know!

 

wow all the chicago area peeps coming out from hibernation lol

 

you need to come to the meets with the rest of the chicago people.....

 

we aint hibernating.. just nearly all the smart chit-town boys went to a different site after the site mods here banned a bunch of people.

 

i assume the balts transmission is like any other transmission...if thats the case, u all are wrong. With that amount of miles on the OP's car, he should be doing a trans oil flush.... not a oil change.
