Title: Transmission fluid filling
Post by: Mike Preising on September 13, 2010, 04:27:05 pm
On a 2002 U-270 with a 400hp cummins, where do you add transmission fluid. Do you pour it down the dip stick? or is there another place?

That's how I did it on my 96 U270.  Bought a metal funnel with a flexible metal tube and tied it in place so it didn't fall out of the dip stick tube.  Only pulled the dip stick out a few inches.

If you need to add a large quantity (as in when you change fluid), put the pail (5 gallons) of Transynd up on a ladder.  Using new thin-wall clear plastic hose (any hardware store), start a siphon.  Stick the other end of the hose in the filler tube and come back in 10 minutes.
