Re: How much grease in the tranny?
do you mean oil? Well, hopefully you do. If so, use the same oil as you use in the engine-- I use 20w-50. There was a specific amount listed in the manual i use but the level didn't quite come to the bottom of the fill hole. I added more until it was just about to overflow the fill hole. That's the forum answer, "fill it 'til it's about to overflow but not quite."

Darwin, make sure the car's on a level surface, then fill until the oil starts to drip out of the fill hole.
Then, drive!

Re: How much grease in the tranny?
That's what I did and it took about 2/3 of a quart.
Hmmm, I may have messed up after all. The stuff I put in was 80/90 weight. I just looked in the book and it says 20W/50 motor oil. I have never heard of a transmission taking motor oil.
