AX-5 fill and drain plug locations
« on: April 03, 2008, 10:26:00 PM »
Before I drain and refill just want to confirm plug locations.  Here is a pic of my AX-5 from the drivers side.  I looked at it appears there are no plugs on passenger side.

Thanks

No, that's not it.  That 'plug' says DO NOT REMOVE on it.  It holds a poppet and spring for the transmission.

I used that "fill plug" once and it leaves you with a low oil level.  Was lucky to find out about the correct fill plug in time.

Tony,

I almost made the same mistake myself; the fill plug will be on the passanger side higher up.  By the way, getting the bottle in there is a PITA, so be ready to be creative on how to get the fluid to the tranny fill plug!

they make a pump that screws onto the gear oil container that helps allot for filling up tranys and transfer cases... don't know what they call it but you'll know what it is when you see it.

Yea, I got a hand pump that is attached to the gear oil bottle and then pump away.  So the fill plug is higher up on the passenger side.  Will look again.

Thanks,

You can also just come in from the side between frame and body.

Pennziol Synchromesh right now.  Redline MT-90 is also known to work well in the AX5.

Ever since I put Redline MT90 in mine, shifting is a heck of a lot easier, especially 1st gear!  As a result, I am sticking to MT90 from now on!

On the AX5 it is hard to spot due to the location but it is there.  Don't know anything about the AX15 fill plug location.

The plug is a PITA to get to.

Your not kidding it is a pain in the A@@ to get too.  I uses 80-90w gear oil and it was a fun, dirty job....
