Hi guys

I am using tranny fluid can anyone tell me how much or to what level I have to fill it?

Do I take the plunger out and pour it in or do I just undo the top and pour it in ontop?

any help will be appreciated

Michael

It's meant to simply fill the tube. If you overfill it, the excess will
a) blow out the top as you drive. Or
b) drain down on top of the piston and then into the manifold.

It doesn't really matter, get it within 1/2 an inch from the top of the inner piston tube and it will find it's own happiness. If you overfill it, it will still find it's own level one way or another.

In addition to what Mick said, leave the little "tube" in there as you fill it, it takes up space and oil will dribble out if you fill it to the correct level and then put it back in.
