My “free” e30

Time to vent. So I’ve already attempted to drop in my M20 4 or 5 times with no luck. First attempt normal chains with tranny bolted on to the motor....fail. Need more tilt a lot more tilt. I went and bought a load leveler from harbor fright. So attempt 2 load leveler did not come with clips of anyway to secure the chains so I used the old chains but it wasn’t quite secure and I still could not get enough tilt....fail. Time to change strategy I unbolted trans and tried to come straight down with it.....fail the clutch hits and wants to rip shit so I abort that idea only if I had some tilt duh!! So this is where I am I went to buy some pad locks and clips to secure the chains it’s on the load leveler pad locked and level ready to tilt in now the question is do I go back to going in with transmission and all??? Or just get the fucker in there and worry later?? Here’s the kicker the alternator went out on my 2000 Nissan Maxima and it’s been raining I have the alternator just haven’t found the time or dryness/daylight to do either vehicles!!! I’m going nucking futs!! Thanks for hearing me R3V this struggle is all too real. I want to drive already!!!

Everything okay here


Fill it till it starts flowing back FROM THE FILL HOLE.


Not the bottom he means the borrom of the "fill hole screw" like a bathtub to the rim.

Easiest way to tell is you fill it until it starts to come out of the fill hole lol. It should be filled to the bottom of the plug.

Make sure your mind is straight find the FILL HOLE FIRST AND OPEN IT.


DO NOT OPEN THE DRAIN FIRST.



I've had friends open the drain first , purposefully or by accident. and the realized the drop in pressure pulls in the fill bolt and your fucked since you wouldn't be able to open the fill hole.
But let's not consider it's a 30 year old car. The fill hole might be welded shut by now.

So please open the fill hole first.

WTF?!?!?! Not true. You open the fill hole first in case the drain gets stripped and you aren't stuck with an empty trans in the mean time. If you open the drain first, only thing the fluid will do is "glug, glug" since there's no air getting to the top of the casing, and probably make a mess since half of it will miss the drip pan you have underneath.

It’s a Sachs I believe that is OEM not the original because the original trans is an auto lol this is a swap build. Clutch is brand new.
