Transmission Oil

3.Remove the transmission filer plug located on the upper right hand side of the transmission case above the transmission shifting linkage rod.

4.Allow the oil to drain completely (15- 30min).

5.Reinstall the transmission drain plug and torque to 7-10lb-ft.

6.Fill the transmission case with SAE85W-140 automotive grade gear oil through the filler hole. 650cc / 22oz.

7.Reinstall the transmission filler hole plug and torque to 2-3Lb-ft.

8.Dispose of used oil at a proper recycling station as required by law
