2005 Xr6t Manual Transfluid Replacement

Transmax Z would have been a better choice, or a custom oil such as Mainlube T56 Gear Oil.

Hi Christiaan,

Agreed mate... I looked high and low and couldnt find it anywhere??? any hints on where to get it?

I will throw in the Transmax Z next time....

im a little worried about the Fluid change even though the Transmission took almost 4 litres I read at the start of this post that the transmission has to be filled from the sensor plug???? Anyone know where that is ? I filled it from the fill plug until it dripped out...... took almost on the dot of 4 litres.....

With the auto trans fluid, you do need to put a little more fluid in than usual.. There's a reverse lockout switch on the box that you can use instead.

Alot of people keep putting fluid in until it stops chattering or making noises.

[JaSoN-XR6T]

there is certainly no chattering noises that's for sure and the gear changes are smooth...

the only issue I have is the occasional clunk when going in reverse or sometimes out of first gear if the revs are low..... is this normal??

if not I might need to get the diff checked!!!! sometimes is liked something in the boot has gone clunk....

intresting

Mate, possibly could be the bush on it's way out.

I'm off work tomorrow and Monday by the way.

Well got my mainlube T56 oil today and magnetic plug which is a strong little bugger and draws the metal particles in the box to stop them floating around in the oil. Great idea me thinks!

Hope to get the oil in this weekend and compare from the factory oil.

Cheers
