520 Tranny Fill Tube

[soofoodude 6]

Has anybody figured out a faster way to add tranny oil to a 520? Small fill tube seems to take forever to take oil. Would a larger fill tube help or is the port in the top of the tranny just small? Thanks for your help.

take a small wire and put a hook on the top place in the fill tube then place the funnel in. This allows air to escape from transmission to breath. still have to pour slow but should help

Thanks for the tip I will give it a try.

Try leaving the filter loose until the end. Goes alot faster.

Funny you should ask that, I had to put oil in mine today too....got out my funnel, added some oil, waited.....waited.....waited.....waited......waited......waited.......until finally I gave up and pulled the funnel, loosing almost ALL of the oil I dumped down the funnel. So out comes the oil-dri, and me wondering if there was an obstruction or something.

It's good to know these things.

If you remove one of the bolts that fastens the seat/gas tank mount to the trans this will allow the air out.make sure you clean the area good first though!

I use this method,no mess and the trans fills almost as fast as you can pour.
