You failed to mention whether this is a manual or an automatic transmission. Automatics are normally filled through the dipstick tube. Manual transmissions are normally filled via the upper plug on the side of the transmission. This is the plug that is removed to check the fluid level. One removes the plug (normally a 17mm Allen in VWs) and sticks ones finger in there, the fluid should be at the bottom of the hole. With the automatic transmission, the dipstick has markes on it, usually for hot and cold levels.
The Volkswagen Jetta is equipped with the facilities to drive well in the snow. However, it requires that snow tires be bought and put on before performing at full capacity.
no it has a vent if it is coming out the vent it is over full.
This spec can be found in the manual.. I use Full Synthetic 5w-30 in my 1999.5(newer body style)
Next to the firewall on the transmission the speedometer cable enters the transmission. There is a bolt that will let you remove the speedo cable. This is were you fill the transmission. Fill until it is copletly full.
You don't, get the unit serviced and if required repaired.
Auto: fill through dipstick tube Std. Plug at side of transmission - fill to this level
There is not one. look on the side of the transmission, half way up and there should be a fill plug. Remove it and you should be able to insert your little finger to the first bend and touch the fluid. That indicates it is full.
On the drain pan on the bottom of the transmission there is a drain and a fill plug. Fill through fill plug until full or fluid starts draining out of the fill plug opening. Shift the vehicle through the gears with the engine running, then check again. Repeat until full. Do not over fill! Use proper transmission fluid!
The most common cause of a automatic transmission jerking, when shifting, is low transmission fluid. Fill the transmission to the full mark.
There is a fill plug on the body of the 5 speed manual transmission
I have a 1993 Ford Explorer. There is no fill plug for transmission fluid. I imagine that the 1994 Ford Explorer would be similar. To fill, use a funnel and pour the transmission fluid directly into the tube that holds the dipstick. Do not fill past the full line on the tank below.
Is this an automatic or manual transmission? If its manual there should be a fill plug usually in the side of the transmission case. Just fill until it starts to come out the fill hole and re install the plug. If its an automatic, you need to run the car in park with the 5mm hex plug removed from the bottom of transmission pan. If there is fluid coming out while running (make sure car is up to operating temp), then it is full. If not, remove the red cap from the transmission ( easier to do with skid pan off, 4 17mm bolts hold in on I believe), then take out the plug and fill until it comes out of the hole that the 5mm plug was removed from. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE PROPER VW TRANSMISSION FLUID!
