Thread: Transmission Oil for a D2a..where does it go?

Well I cant say it was an unmitigated success but I think I have done it. I read so much on it, it all got a bit confusing....or maybe I got confused. Anyhoo, when I took off the fill in plug, all this oil poured out.........everywhere. I looked like one of those poor birds you see after an oil spill. So I waited till it started to subside and started the pumping. Talk about a work out, my arms are rooted.

Finally once it started to overflow, replugged it and started Smokey and went through the gears ( plus into neutral on my Hi Lo lever. Did that a few times and with engine running, unplugged and kept filling till it was really overflowing and replugged it. Went through gears again and then went for a short drive. No issues.

So any potential issues from what I have done and anything to look out for/ signs of a potential screw up? Thanks again for all the advice, first time I have played mechanic and despite from the mess I just had to clean up, a wee bit chuffed that I managed that ,

I am assume you mean from the refill process. No problems from what you have done. btw: I put a hose through the lid to the bottom of the oil container and long enough to go to the transmission. Also have an air valve in the lid that I use to control the flow. Hook up an air compressor to the valve. Air in, oil flows out. Air compressor off, no flow. Simple and relatively clean.
