Owners manual
I recently bought a 2000 Miata, 5-speed.
Whoever cleaned the car out REALLY cleaned it out, so much so that I didn't get an owners manual. Can anybody tell me HOW MUCH of WHAT WEIGHT fluid is the full level of the 5-speed transmission. Thanks in advance, Tim |

Owners manual
Frank,
Thanks for the tip. I have been there and got the schematic, but didn't think to get the owner's manual.

Once you do this, you can snake a tube down into the transmission case filler hole from above and pour the fluid in while sitting in the driver or passenger seat. I found this to be easier than dealing with a pump from beneath the car. YMMV. If you do fill it this way, lay some old towels or something around the shifter area to catch any spilled or dripping fluid. The differential will still need a pump, but it is at least a little easier to access than the tranny. Pat |

>>>I like the fill from above idea! I'll remember that.
Me too. I was already planning to drain from the bottom and slightly overfill the transmission from the top. Tim |
