Transmission Fluid Replacement




Important:

• The manual transaxle is filled with fluid at the manufacturer and requires no routine oil changes. If it is determined that the fluid needs to be changed due to contamination or a similar issue, follow this procedure.

• To ensure that all sediment within the transaxle is suspended in the fluid, the fluid should only be drained after it has reached a normal operating temperature of 88-93°C (190-200°F). Normal operating temperature is reached after approximately 25 km (15 miles) of highway driving.


Position vehicle on hoist and raise vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
Caution: The transaxle fluid is hot. Caution must be taken to prevent personal injury when the transaxle fluid drains from the transaxle.

Remove the transaxle drain plug (1).
Remove the transaxle level plug (2).
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.

Clean and apply thread sealant P/N 21485278 to the drain plug (1) and install.
Tighten
Tighten the transaxle drain plug to 50 Nˇm (37 lb ft).

Using a funnel with a flexible spout or a quart bottle hand pump, add manual transaxle lubricant through the level plug (2) opening until fluid flows out.
For the correct fluid recommendation, refer to Lubrication Specifications .

Clean and apply thread sealant P/N 21485278 to the level plug (2) and install.
Tighten
Tighten the transaxle level plug to 50 Nˇm (37 lb ft).

There is also a fill cap on top of both the auto transmission and manual trans.

According to GMDealerWorld.com, the MU3 (SS/SC) transmission does NOT have a fill cap, only the two plugs on the side of the case as shown in the pic above.
