No. They are two different transmissions.
There is no drain plug assuming it is an automatic transmission it is drained when removing the transmission pan and changing the transmission filter.
Here are a few links for how-to walk-throughs for replacing the top. http://www.cabby-info.com/how-to.htm http://www.okcwetdub.com/cabrio_top.html And the following link will give you part numbers for any parts of your cabriolet as long as you register. http://www.vagcat.com/ Marty
Yes, by removing the manual transmission and installing an automatic. Unless you have a donor car this would be extremely expensive. My advice is that if you want an A/T sell the car you have and then buy one with an automatic.
Many automatic transmission do not have drain plugs. You drain the ATF by removing the transmission fluid pan. If you are changing the ATF, you should pull the pan anyway, to replace the ATF filter. You will also need a new pan gasket.If there is an ATF drain plug, it will be located in the transmission fluid pan, on the bottom of the transmission.
I had the same questions, I contacted Izuzu and it is not servicable by you and I. It has to be checked by the service center by raising the vehicle and removing the bolts as in replacing the transmission fluid. This was on the 97-99's. They have gone back to dipsticks but unfortunately we are stuck with the service center. YES you can do it!! Be careful not to overfill but do as follows to check the fluid. As you don
Depends on what exactly is wrong with it :) Unless it is about simply replacing or adjusting the clutch cable, replacing the clutch involves removing transmission out, which means taking the axles out etc.
It depends on what exactly they need to fix on the transmission. It may be as simple as adding or removing transmission fluid, or as complex as completely replacing the transmission. Ask a mechanic you trust what the specific problem is, and use that as a starting point for your research.
It doesn't have a transmission dipstick. The fluid level is checked by removing a plug from the transmission housing from under the vehicle. It is best done with vehicle up on a lift and level.
By removing the oil pan, replacing the filter(s), resealing the pan, and filling the fluid down the dipstick tube.
If it is an automatic, there isn't one. As stupid as it seems, the oil level is checked with a level plug located in the side of the transaxle that is only accessible when the car is on a hoist. The car must be level, transmission warm and on a level surface (hoist) when removing the plug to check. The transmission is filled by removing the vent located on the top of the transmission.
If the car is an automatic, there should be a dipstick for the tranny fluid that will be labeled, "use automatic transmission fluid only". If the car is a standard then you have to get under the car and pull the drain plug and check the level there, and standard cars don't use transmission fluid, they use 902w gear oil. May I add, that you don't' check a manual transmission level by removing the drain plug. You check it by removing the fill plug. Also not all manual transmissions use the same lube. Some do indeed use automatic transmission fluid. Read you owner's manual. Also there are some A/T that don't have a place to check the fluid level. They are sealed for life transmissions.
