Fill and drain Transmission--->See photo

redtruckagogogo · 08-12-2008, 01:58 PM

I have a 1997 S10 4 cyl with a 5 speed NV1500 transmission 2x4 is this the correct fill and drain plugs?

Also this is the oil I going to use for refill.

Am I on the right track?

The NV1500 calls out for Syncromesh, It's probably not a good idea to use gear oil

1/4milecrazy · 08-12-2008, 02:25 PM

true, synchromesh is better anyway

Autozone says to refill with the LUCAS gear oil. Will I be OK with this?

1/4milecrazy · 08-12-2008, 02:39 PM

autozone is a bunch of idiots, generally all the chain store employees are, i once went to a pep boys and asked for a rotor for a 93 s10, they said they didnt have it, i then asked for a rotor for a 86 monte carlo and it has been on my truck for a few months now.

Most GM transmissions dont use gear oil, they use ATF. and the best thing to replace it with is synchromesh. i plan on using it in mine when i change the fluid.

the lucas will be too thick for the nv3500. although it may work and be fine i dont think it is a good idea.

I have the NV 1500 transmission, should I take back the Lucas?

gm part #12345349

or you can use synthetic atf, which is better lube for a stick anyways.

I would stick with the syncromesh, its not worth taking the chance. Tranny rebuilds are no fun

I filled with syncromesh 3 qts. Shifts much better now. Had 98,000 on old oil.
Thanks for all the help.
