Performing transgo vb upgrade this weekend.. goin to dealership today to pick up new tranny fluid.. can someone explain to me how to refill the vb with fluid after installation? I have an 06 coupe.

 

You fill it up from behind the plenum, to the left of it. , I believe it's a 10mm bolt.

And just in case you haven't seen it: https://g35driver.com/forums/engine-...y-upgrade.html

 

Is that under the hood or by the vb???

 

Under the hood, the dipstick behind the plenum.

 

Ok finally found that small thing. i have kinetix intake manifold so it was well hidden.. i actually had to bend the pipe to get the cap off.. i bought s matic fluid. the cap says j matic caution.. so im assuming i did right? thanks man!

 

Matic-S Replaced Matic-J, Matic S is fine. You can buy the fluid much cheaper online but since you are doing the upgrade soon, Id call around should be anywhere from 11-13 bucks a quart, some dealers want 20 which is a rip.

the VB upgrade is pretty intensive, if you don't know how to fill the transmission up with fluid..., all I am saying is make sure you know what your doing lol.

 

 

Just bought 5 quarts today. 9.18 ea

 

Don't you need 8 quarts?

 

8 if u flush.. 5 for vb upgrade

 

**** ur right 8 quarts. Damn I only bought 5 n drove 40 miles to get me.. U think I can use the 5 and 3 off of wat I drain out?

 

Ummmm... I have to agree with screensavers here... You can't find the trans fluid dip stick and don't know how much fluid to buy for doing a Transgo... You should probably leave it to a professional.

I've done 4 TransGo installs so far and am doing 2 more in the next few weeks so trust me when I say that this mod isn't for the average Do It Yourselfer. Ill admit that even I was a little nervous on my first install and I have years of experience working on cars for a living.

Remember that a new valve body costs $1,000 if you mess anything up...

 

Folks the transmission holds 10 3/4 qts. of fluid.

 

Thanks for the advice.. ive been a collision repair tech for 13 years strong now.. sure im a little nervous but i know o can handle this.
I just needed to know exactly how much fluid i need to put back?

 

Collision and body work have nothing to do with transmission internals... Just saying.

You'll need approx 8 quarts give or take 1/2quart
