DB9 TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL/PLUG

[x15jq]

Hi all, I just finished overhauling the automatic transmission cooler lines because the stock rubber sections were in terrible shape after just 3 years.

I was wondering where I could find the fill port for the trans, I do see the drain plug on the bottom but cannot find a location for the fill port. I only need to add in about 1 litre of fluid, that is all that came out while changing the lines.

Thanks!

you have to remove the right hand side exhaust pipe, then you can remove the fill bung which is also on he right of the transmission, start the engine and let it tickover you can now fill until it will take no more, the engine has to be cold when you start this procedure and don't take to long filling as once engine reaches 40c you will have to turn the engine off and wait untill she cools down again,

Rick, thank you for your advice. I was able to get the transmission filled by pushing fluid in through the cooler lines since it was only down a little bit.

The car runs like new again, I installed new plugs, coils, intake gaskets, pcv's and relocated the pcv valves so that they are right up front incase they need changing again.

Thanks for your help!

Hi

I need to top up the gearbox oil on my Aston Martin, how did you go about filling the gear box by the oil cooler lines??

Kind Regards
