1. you got the tranny fluid

2. you have the heldex fluid which is the big thing in the back (and the dealer did the fluid on it )

3. the final drive....is that the one next to the tranny?? i found the drain plug for it but i cant seems to find a fill plug for it

do i just pump it in from the drain plug?? if so what is the capacity of it should be?? i am using the same MT-90 fluid for the final....is that OK??

TIA

The Tranny fluid drain plug is 1/3 of the way down on the right hand side in this picture. The fill plug is in the upper center-right corner of the picture and is barely showing in the picture.

The rear differential drain plug is just above the right side red circle in the picture. The fill plug for it is on the opposite side, on the side of the differential.

The Haldex drain plug (very small compared to differential plug) is on the left hand side above the rear differential frame and or just to the right and above of the muffler hangar.

I used 2.x quarts of Redline MT-90 on the man tran, it required a 14mm hex, it has a drain plug and a fill plug located in the "bevelbox".

I used the haldex filter and official oil, but the caulk gun sucked, I had to jack the car way up.

I used mobile 1 full syn 75-90 for the rear final drive which required a 17mm hex, it has a drain and a fill plug.

Note: I had hex sockets that I could remove the bit from the socket to fit in the tight spaces.

Good luck

There is an internal crossover pipe between the transmission and the final drive for the fill. But you drain via the individual drain plugs.
1. drain both trans and final drive
2. replace both drain plugs
3. fill via the fill plug on the front of the transmission
4. 2.6 liters (just under three quarts) will fill both to the proper level simultaniously

so on top of the haldex unit there is ANOTHER rear diff in the back???

It's just aft of the haldex unit. I am thinking (someone correct me if I'm wrong here) that the tranny and front final drive share fluid.

and the rear diff uses what fluid GL-4 or GL-5?? and how much of it?? TIA

I didn't know that. thanks

GL4 vs GL5... no stated spec!
I used AmsOil 75w-90 synthetic, in the trans and diffs. The bottle says "meets GL2 through GL5, and MT-1" so that's no help as far as your specific question!
