Changing Std Transmission Fluid??
Hi All!
On my 66 Merc I can see the drain plug on the bottom...but WHERE is the filling location after draining the pan??
And do I simply use gear oil?
Sorry for the newbie questions...just starting to learn!
Love the forum!

The fill plug on most manual transmissions are on the passenger side. Same type/size of plug as drain, but about half way up the side.
Regular 75w-90 or 85w140 gear lube, depending on your climate. Takes about 3 qts(don't remember exactly), but it does not take a full gallon.
One of those nifty lube pumps works great for this. The one that mounts to a gallon jug and you pump the top to transfer. All else fails, the little quart jugs can be "persuaded" to get into the hole. Keep a few rags handy....you will spill some!
