6.2.3 Changing the Transmission Oil - Avenger and
Frontier
Change the transmission oil after the rst 20 hours of operation.
After this, change the transmission oil every 100 operating
hours. Remove rewall to access the drain plug located at the
bottom of the transmission. Drain the transmission oil into
a suitable container and dispose of the oil at a disposal site.
While draining the transmission oil, be sure to clean off any
metal particles that are on the magnet of the drain plug. These
ne metal particles are a result of the transmission gears mesh-
ing during the initial break-in period. Re-install the plug and
tighten it securely.
6.2.4 Changing the Transmission Oil - HDi and HD
Removing the oil from the
ADMIRAL transmission requires
the use of a vacuum style pump such as the 638-02 Big Boy,
Top Sider (available from Ontario Drive and Gear). Due to
the design of the
ADMIRAL transmission, the majority of the
oil in the case will be below the drain plug.
Remove the drain plug (Figure 6-4b) and drain the oil until
the ow stops. Insert the vacuum tube of the Big Boy Vacu-
Pump into the drain plug hole and remove the remaining oil
from the transmission sump.
Relling the Transmission - Avenger and Frontier
Rell the transmission through the oil ll/dipstick hole. Oil
capacity for all transmissions is 38.7 oz.( 1.1 L) of 80 W 90
Gear Lube HYPOY-C. As you rell the transmission, check
the oil level with the dipstick. Check that the oil level is even
with the mark on the dipstick, after it has been seated fully in
the dipstick hole. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Figure 6-4a. 34-100 Transmission showing dipstick and drain
plug locations
The transmission oil level should be even with the mark on
the dipstick as shown in Figure 6-4. Add 80 W 90 Gear Lube
HYPOY-C through the transmission oil ll/dipstick hole
until the transmission is lled to the correct level. DO NOT
OVERFILL. Replace the dipstick securely.

6.2.2 Checking the Transmission Oil Level - HDi and HD
HDi and HD (ADMIRAL) transmission models do not have
an oil dipstick. Check for correct oil level by viewing the
site glass installed to the lower portion of the transmission
housing (Figure 6-4b). To view this site glass, remove the
quick release rewall. Oil lling half the site glass indicates
correct oil level.
