changing trans fluid on g260/5

[Mr. Burns]

I am ever so close to driving my E30 after 1.5 years...I don't want to take any chances with the M30 G260 5spd transmission I pulled from a PnP.

do I need one of those transfer pumps in order to replace the fluid?

this is something I should of done while everything was out ffs...but oh well.

if not, I'm having a little difficulty finding a quick DYI

Another decent way to get it in is to get transfer pump. Get one that works like a giant syringe. Should be pretty easy peasy.

One note - open the fill nut BEFORE you drain, just to be sure you'll be able to refill it. ;)

I hang a funnel off of the passenger's side mirror and run the length of vinyl tubing UNDER the car.
When fluid starts pouring back out of the fill hole, I crawl under, get stinky, and put the plug back in.

That way I don't run the risk of getting MT inside the car. Stuff stinks...
