Need to change the trans fluid in the 328. not a lot of room to fill it in the tunnel there. Went to 3 stores today and noone had any fluid pumps in stock.

anyjuan?

IDK about BMWs but you can fill nissans through the shifter hole…

5

Yea but how do you know when you’ve put enough in? BMW says to put it in till it starts to flow out the ‘in’ plug…

I have a really tiny pump I used to use for gassing up RC cars and planes that I use. Gets in the space no problem. Look for one of those from a hobby store.

6

you take out the fill plug and pour it in the shifter till it comes out the hole…

7

lol.

def no room to do it from above

8

I mean you actually take the shifter out of the transmission and pour it in through the hole where it came from.

i see you didn’t look at your trans before you discarded it for a nissan one

Bah, just looked at realOEM, these have the shift linkage going into the back, don’t they?

11

aye

Another trick I used to fill my maxima transmission was to drill 2 holes in the cap for the oil, insert one hose all the way to the bottom of the oil container and the other into the fill on the side of the transmission. Make this hose as big OD as you can, and long enough to reach comfortably into the transmission from next to the car. The other hole in the cap, stick your air compressor blowgun nozzle in.

Pressurizing the bottle will force the oil up the hose into the trans. Try to keep the holes in the cap close in size to the hose/blowgun

fightinmike used a siphon hose once. took a while to pump the fluid in but it worked.

14

walmart has them, its what i used on my evo. worked fantastic!

15

lol, until you use it to siphon gas…

16

lol, well thats a different case then

just a cheaper solution i suppose, i think it was like ten bucks or something like that
