3 Questions: 1) what type of fluid/oil do you use when changing for a Manual Trans 2) how often should it be changed? 3) how complicated is it? I know automatics are simple with a drain plug and fill, but what about a manual? |

I know automatics are simple with a drain plug and fill, but what about a manual? What year, and engine size are you running? There is a drain and fill plug on the manual. The 6speeds use a special synthetic fluid IIRC. Seems to me its 30k or 60k for service. The 5speeds I would have to look up. |

I have a 2003 KJ renegade 5spd man. 140K miles I have had all my fluids changed before but never specified about the trans so I figured it was worth asking. |

4.9 pints of syncromesh, I could only put 4 pints into mine. Make sure you can get the fill plug out before you remove the drain plug, it's a large hex key-not sure the of the size. Both the fill and drain plugs are the same size. You will have to pump the fluid up to the fill hole. |

With the nsg 370 6 speed, the drain and fill plugs are actually a different size (at least it is with mine). As stated, MAKE SURE to remove fill plug first just to make sure you can get it out before draining. Penzoil sells a syncromesh that is mopar approved. |

Thanks for the info. I am going to end up taking it to my mechanic since it is not leaking orange fluid from what looks like that steering pump. I live in an apartment so I don't have the ease of a garage and driveway. Thank you all though. The education as helpful. |
