Thank you

On the front of the gear box there will be a bung/bolt, Its quite big (don't remember the size though) Fill the gearbox up untill its at the bottom of the bung.

Thats about all there is to it really.
A funnel and correctly sized hose will help get the fluid into the gearbox.

There should be two bolts on the C-Series box. A drain and a fill. At least i remember there being two...

will it be the same for the T50 tranny?

There are two plugs on every m/t\gearbox. Just make sure you can get the filler (upper) plug out, before you drain it. You don't want to be stuck with an empty box and no way to fill it.

i took mine to yota and they charged me 20 bux. but since you already have the stuff

they are 23mm bolts...... the drain will be near the bottom of the trans, and the fill will be about 1/2 way up on the front of the trans

i personally hate using the fill bolt, so i pull the speedo gear out and fill it right there (much easier and faster).

the drain will be near the bottom of the trans

below the drivers side inside CV joint.

I prefer to use the front hole to pour the oil in. Get a nice hose, put that in the hole and its easy.

Here's a really good thread with clear pictures explaining it.

that's what i used to do... until i figured out the speedometer drivegear trick..... that way you have a direct 1.5" hole in the top of the trans... i use a radiator funnel and pour in the 2.7 (or whatever it is) quarts into the tranny in about 15 seconds & i'm done
