Adding 2 Quarts to the DCT transmission in a HTC C8 Corvette. UGH!!!

[@larrymchaney4792]

I like the clear cover. I like seeing the engine from the top for leak inspections without having to take off dozens of bolts.....

[@mikesgarage6331]

I think I'd like that too. Seems so unnatural not being able to see the engine on a car.

[@radiatorgrillestore]

Nice fleet of vehicles you have there! Good how to video for the HTC owners out there.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

That C2 sounds great after she warms up!!

[@Graveltrucking]

You gotta keep the old Vette that's old school, sure miss the sound of carbureted engines I grew up with them as a kid.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Ooh that classic 60s Muscle Car Sound!!

You are a trooper - I think I would jack up the driver's side, pull off the left rear, and go through the check tranny level port. The GM engineers definitely made that fill plug hard to get to on purpose. Guaranteed hours for the dealership mechanics! How much extra would it have cost to run a fill tube off to the side of the airbox accessible from the trunk or engine bay? I'm sure there will be an industrious company making a tranny fill relocation kit in the future.

[@mikesgarage6331]

I think if I had another floor jack I would have tried that way. But would hate for a jack to slip out and rip off a side skirt in the process.

Beautiful 64 there. I wish they would bring Riverside Red back as a C8 color.

[@TheRGSfan]

That sure looks like a LOT of work just to add some transmission fluid. GEEZ!

[@mikesgarage6331]

Yeah it's kinda crazy

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Well at least Andrea doesn't seem to be too bent out of shape about you getting your Corvette shirt dirty... Lol😅!!

[@daviddetwiler9975]

I installed a quarter turn quick drain adapter into the side fill port. Added the two additional quarts with a pressure pot.

[@mikesgarage6331]

That's a great idea.

[@larrymchaney4792]

Thats my plan.

[@Marcelo-wj9uu]

Congratulations on your knowledge! Maybe you can help me ? We changed the transmission of a 2023 C8, after that it doesn't start the engine, doesn't turn off the panel, we received the fault code DTC U1346, we are in Brazil and this car doesn't sell here, it was imported directly, they said this is an electrical problem, Bad wiring or connector, if you can help me with any newsletter, photos, videos, I would really appreciate it!

[@mikesgarage6331]

Gosh I don't know.

[@awittenburg1977]

Does your Gasoline have Ethanol in it or is that a USA thing?

[@corners3608]

Mike, you need a shop manual for the C8! Congratulations on not swearing figuring it all out..😂. Imagine all that plastic on how brittle it will be when it’s as old as Prince!!

[@mikesgarage6331]

Funny you say that I was thinking the same thing doing the job.

[@deek4412]

Would this job have been easier if it was a coupe instead of a HTC?

[@mikesgarage6331]

Yes! Having to go between the trunk and top hatch was a bugger

[@deek4412]

@@mikesgarage6331 That's what I thought. If I can get up as much courage as you, I will attempt it.

[@vitoaugello1677]

Way too much work, way too complicated and way too many busted and scratched knuckles. And of course way too long. Filling it from the side took me going slowly about 1 1/2hr. That pain was jacking and removing the tire. That’s it.

[@rickjacoby4542]

Why in the hell didn’t gym just add the two quarts to begin with?

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Not the easiest job to do... But at least you know you can do it..( Just like when you rebuilt the engine on a certain Peterbilt named Duke.. lol😅!!)..

[@warrengee-f9l]

Prince s check engine light is flashing lol

[@mikesgarage6331]

Lol

[@jerrysolari1530]

Another guy that doesn’t know what a fender cover is for

[@edjean24]

you need to learn how to put it in service mode the rear/engine cover press twice the close key and then press the open and leave pressed the open key in the remote I also have a youtube channel www.youtube.com/@xpeedtactics

[@mikesgarage6331]

I'll go check you out 👍

[@edjean24]

you are the man cus I started and I quit 😂 anyway I am going to put a video on this new kit/valve for oil fill

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Pretty complicated just to add tranny oil... At least the engine looks cool😎!!
