I have a 1995 celica GT, and i'm workin on changing the clutch myself. It may sound dumb, but i dont know what manual transmission fluid is. Is it normal oil or do they have some kind of special manual transmission fluid? And if it is oil, what strength oil do
i use? (example: 10w-30....etc.) Some one help me please... I want to get this done as soon as I can.

I know the C-52 tranny on the ST uses 75W90 or 80W90 gear oil. I'd imagine that the GT's tranny is the same, though I'm not positive.

Make sure you use the good stuff. Mobile one synthetic isn't the BEST out there but it is as good as it gets without special ordering. I think it runs 8 bucks a qt but believe me its worth it for your tranny.

Try mobil 1 and mix in an oil stabilizer like lucas or something. Should give a really smooth feel to it.

How do you fill the oil? Is there a nipple to fill the tranny fluid through?

Yeah, there are two large bolts on the tranny. They're 24mm bolts I think, and are large diameter bolts with a pretty short head. The fill bolt is on the part of the tranny facing the front of the car, and the other bolt, which is the same size and is lower down on the tranny near the bottom of it, is the drain bolt. At least on the C-52...the S-54 may be different. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Sorry for a complete Newbie question you guys, but I've been wanting to change my tranny fluid for a while now....can anybody tell me the basics of changing the tranny fluid on a GT transmission??
1.) Where do you check the level?? 2.) Fill point? 3.) Drain point? I would appreciate just a quick description of how to do this very much. I'd just like to be able to change tranny fluid next time I change my oil. Thanks guys. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
