Troubleshooting
Stiff gear changes, especially when cold
Ensure the correct API GL-4 grade fluid is used. Verify fluid level is correct. If the issue persists, the transmission may require professional inspection.
Noise from the transmission
Check the fluid level. Low fluid can cause noise. If the level is correct, inspect for signs of wear or damage within the transmission; professional diagnosis may be needed.
Difficulty engaging gears
Confirm correct fluid specification. Ensure clutch operation is normal. If the problem persists, it may indicate internal transmission wear or adjustment issues.
Fluid leakage from transmission
Inspect drain and fill plugs for tightness and condition. Check seals and gaskets for wear or damage. Address leaks promptly to prevent low fluid levels.

Setup (Fluid Change):
- Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the transmission is at a moderate temperature (not hot).
- Locate and remove the transmission drain plug.
- Allow the old fluid to drain completely.
- Replace the drain plug.
- Locate and remove the fill plug.
- Using a suitable pump, fill the transmission with the recommended amount of Carlube Driveline 75W-90 until the fluid level reaches the bottom of the fill hole.

Care: As a 'fill for life' fluid, regular changes are typically not required unless specified by the manufacturer or if the fluid appears contaminated. Visually inspect for leaks around the drain and fill plugs periodically. If the fluid ever appears discolored, has a burnt smell, or shows signs of contamination (e.g., metal particles), it should be changed immediately.
