Got a few questions. Okay first Its a 3004 Dodge SRT-4 and I'm planning on changing the manual transmission fluid. I looked in the manual and it has a recommendation for the type of fluid however it does not say the quantity? I even called the dealership to ask and they didn't even know. I have no clue how much fluid to buy. Second, why does the manual reccomend automatic transmission fluid for my manual and third this is the first time i've changed trans fluid so if you have any tips or anything please tell me.Changing my manual transmission fluid, help?

Use the reccomended transmission fluid. And should be a drain plug in the bottom of the housing. The correct amount should be when it starts to drain from the fill plug (located halfway up on the trans housing). You can remove the fill plug prior to draining, and put your pinky into the hole pointing down to check the level, you should be able to touch it unless you had a leak present.
PS. Reason why most new cars use Trans fluid in manual transmissions rather than the old tried and true 90 weight ya find in your old muscle cars is, the trans fluid causes less pressure stress on the trans seals.Changing my manual transmission fluid, help?
well a 2004 car should not need the fluid changed. however if uoy go into an autofactors they can supply the oil you will need. second you just drain it from the lower drain plug then fill in the upper plug on the gear box most of the time if you just fill till oil comes out the hole you have enoughChanging my manual transmission fluid, help?
Transmission fluid is the same for manual and automatic. Remove the drain nut and drain the fluid. There should be a filler nut near the top of the unit. You have to use a hand pump to pump the fluid in. keep checking the level by inserting your finger. When the fluid is near the bottom of the filler nut hole then that should be enough. You may need 4 quarts.Changing my manual transmission fluid, help?

After draining out the old fluid you just fill it until it runs out the hole on the side of the trans where you put the new oil in.Changing my manual transmission fluid, help?
