M/T - Fluid Level Checking

Number 85-7-26 Date 6/85
Subject: FLUID LEVEL CHECKING IN MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS

1985 FIERO

Manual Transmission:




The following procedure should be used when checking the fluid level in 1985 Fiero manual transmissions.

The fluid level should be checked with the engine stopped, on a level surface and the temperature of the transmission comfortable to the touch.

Check the fluid level by removing the speedometer fitting (P.M. Generator) and observing the oil level on the fitting. The level should be between the "L" and "H" marks on the fitting. See illustration.

If needed, add enough 5W30 SF engine oil to bring the level above the "L" mark.

Be sure the fitting is fully seated when reinstalling..
Checking Fluid Level

See the Maintenance Schedule booklet to find out how often the lubricant level should be checked and what type of lubricant should be used.
