Where is the drain plug, fill plug and dipstick for a TF Magna auto Gearbox?

Thanks

Drain plug is near the passenger front wheel, take the tyre and plastic guard off and youll see it, its a 24mm bolt.

Fill thru dipstick below the air intake snorkel.

There will also be a spin-on filter there, right near the dipstick, should replace this also.

Be sure to use Mitsu SP3 fluid.

Also get a funnel and ~50cm worth of 10mm PVC tubing. :cool:

I have one of those oil pump things

So there is no dedicated fill plug? wow...

The gearbox takes 8.5 litres but realistically if I drain it how much will I be putting into it?

Is it just a gearbox filter?
I got some castrol SPT-MT/dexron III something like that?

:stoopid:
can't you read, buddy.

Put anything in that ain't SP3 (or Castrol TQM), don't come to us crying. :doubt:

Do not under any circumstances use anything except Mitsubishi SP3 or Catrol TQM transmission fluid. Dextron III can and will destroy your gearbox!

I got Castrol TQM-ST oil
It's the one recommended for the car in the castrol book?

Another issue...
Drivers side driveshaft was easy
Took out the passanger one too but it's all in one piece and can't take it apart to put the boots over it. What do I do?
