tranny fluid and filter

Ron Tellus 3 April 2005 01:34:49
 Hi All,

Did an automatic tranny fluid and filter change on an '82 300D. Owners
manual says it should take 6.5 quarts for a fluid change. I drain the
tranny and pull the pan - but all that comes out is about a gallon of
ATF.

Is there some special procedure for getting the rest of the fluid out?

 The rest of the fluid is in the torqe converter, there is a allen head plug
on the converter . Look up though peep hole, rotate engine till it lines up,
remove plug,drain, replace plug. etc

 yep - couldn't be easier. Well designed - a refreshing change from the
modern cars you can't even touch.

Just touch the key, as I recall, turning the engine until the allen wrench
socket is visible. I did mine the day I bought it, but that was about a
year ago.

OK, I think Tweaks got lucky ;-)­ I optimistically tried the "bump
the starter with the key" routine, and all I got was tired from
jumping between the driver's seat and the underside of the car.
There are almost exactly 360 degrees in the big circle of the torque
converter, and only a few of them are visible at any one time
through the little peephole window.

Borrow a friend - hand them a large wrench. If your belts are
tight and the engine is a little loose, you can turn the engine
over from the power-steering pump pulley nut pretty easily.
(clockwise only, please - you don't want to loosen the nut).
Meanwhile, you can get under the car with a flashlight and watch
for the allen plug to appear in the little window in the torque
converter/flywheel housing. I think (faulty memory disclaimer)
it's about a 5 or 6mm socket.

File this for the next time you change your ATF - of course
the same fluid circulates through the whole system, so the
only time this procedure makes sense is when you're changing the
tranny fluid as a whole.

 As I recall there is a plate on the front of the bell housing held on with a
couple of 10mm bolts. Remove this and you have a pretty good view of the
torque converter. I turned mine by simply using a screw driver as a pry bar
on one side. Did I do something wrong?

Yes, now your car is going to fly into tiny pieces and explode.
Actually, I dunno. I don't recall a handy access plate on the front
of the bellhousing, as I was totally intent on watching the small
window on the back (tranny) side of the bellhousing for the magic
allen plug - but if there's such a feature, by all means go for it.
It can save you at least the price of a pint of Guinness, because
none of my so-called friends will come over and get diesel oil
on them for any less.
