FINALLY MAKING PULLS IN THE PROCHARGED GTO! + HOW-TO CHANGE TRANSMISSION,DIFFERENTIAL AND ENGINE OIL

[@goat_life254]

Sounds and looks amazing. Torco RGO ftw Good to see you demonstrating the proper amount and fill location for the manual gto transmission.

[@evsnova74]

I'm about to have to change mine again, never noticed the Mobil oil I used had friction modifier added in. I'm just gonna use 9$ stp but I'm still gonna have to bring in the torco modifier

[@goat_life254]

@@evsnova74 I bought some torco modifier and put it in my diff, but got it rebuilt 100 miles later thankfully. It’s a Truetrac so can’t use it in there. But I use 2.5 quarts of the torco rgo fluid though.

[@evsnova74]

@@goat_life254 I went to jack the rear up and saw that my pinion was leaking AGAIN. Spent all day yesterday pulling the yoke and putting thread sealant on the splines and dousing the shit out of the threads with red loctite. The nut had backed off some

[@goat_life254]

@@evsnova74 that sucks, but it’s good that you know how to fix it. I’d be lost. Like I am with this transmission. It makes all kinds of clunking sounds here and there. Ever since I manual swapped it there’s been issues. But its funner to drive.

Heard some scary stuff about the synchromax in T56 transmissions

@@totalyfrikinawsome so far mine has been good thanks for checking out the channel 🤟🤟👍👍👍👍👍

How is the transmission feeling with that Royal purple? Wonder if Torcos MTF is any better

[@bought2build]

it definitely sounded a little better and seems to shift smoother. my stock transmission is on borrowed time tho with the power I am putting through it tho. I run the torco in the rear diff but I have never tried theirs for the transmission. thanks for the support! 🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@beronib888]

@@bought2build I hear ya, bought amsoil today so gonna give it a go. I like torco gear oil also. I called torco about the transmission fluid and guy I spoke with wasn't really convincing if it was compatible with the T56...so went with amsoil. ✌️

[@bought2build]

@@beronib888 nice! Yeah I run amsoil in everything engine oil wise, but for the trans all My research was saying that the royal purple was worth a shot so I wanted to give it a try! Let me know how you like the amsoil if you notice any difference! Is your transmission making any noise or shifting weird or anything now? Or you just wanted to give it a try? Thanks for the support! 🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍👍

[@beronib888]

@@bought2build pretty sure it has the original fluid since it's lower mileage 57k. Was sitting for about year and half, not really noise but just feels rather notchy the other day. I did a MGW short shifter so thought i was "feeling" more thought shifter which prompted me to look into it more. Yea man will let you know how it goes!

[@bought2build]

@@beronib888 sounds good! And yeah i have had a few different shifters and most of them make it feel more “notchy” as well so idk if it is the actual transmission i currently have the hurst in mine and it shifts a lot better than i was expecting but it does rattle a lot but i dont want to try another one because i would like to get a 4l80E in the car here soon! Good luck with the fluid change! 🤟🤟

[@captainamerica9353]

I assume this is a T-56, is the stock drain plug magnetic, or for that matter the filler also?

[@bought2build]

It is a T56 but that is a good question I honestly don’t remember if these are

[@captainamerica9353]

@@bought2build , well, did you wipe away a glob of grey goo from the tip of either plug? If not then it would seem the stock plugs ( you would only need a magnetic drain, not filler) are not magnetic. I'll be ordering a magnetic before I change my CTS-V out.

[@bought2build]

@@captainamerica9353 you know how many projects I’ve worked on since I did this video I don’t remember lol 😂 I’m pretty sure the drain is but I didn’t want to say it is and then have it not be honestly don’t remember

[@captainamerica9353]

@@bought2build - ok turns out my drain has a sensor (2006 CTSV) which I assume is a temperature, so I couldn't install the mag plug I bought! It reminded me there are several versions of the T56 and used in many makes/models of cars.

My owners manual says that the transmission is full when fluid comes out of the hole for the reverse light switch, but it didnt look like you had any fluid dripping out after the 4.6qts. Is it wrong to fill it until fluid drips out? I flushed my fluid last week and refilled it until it dripped out and im curious if its safe to run like that or if i need to flush it again and measure out 4.6qts when i refill it. Any advice would be appreciated. Also, great video and nice goat!

[@bought2build]

I would drain it and put 4.6 quarts in! the instruction manual is incorrect they had a issue with that! I use the reverse hole to fill it from and I put 4.6 quarts in there is another fill hole location on the transmission and that is where you can check it and it should weep from but depending on the angle you fill it on and how you have the car jacked up etc that hole can cause you to under or over fill the transmission so what I would do is drain the transmission and fill it using the reverse hole and put 4.6 quarts in I would also measure what comes out. If you filled it until it was seeping out of the reverse hole I would guess it has 6ish or More quarts in it If you go on Google they have a bunch of discussions on this subject as well but I would do what i mentioned and use 4.6 quarts Good luck! And thank you for the support 🤟🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@06LS2GTO]

​@bought2build so I redid the fluid change, measuring out 4.6 qts and pumping it into the hole for the reverse sensor, and now it is leaking fluid. I checked the drain plug and the reverse sensor, nothing leaking from there. I found fluid up inside the white shift boot which made me check the output shaft seal, but no leaks coming from the seal. I can't actually find any fluid on the outside of the transmission, but there is fluid on everything around the transmission. I'm hoping you can help me out. Thanks in advance!

At the time you could buy them new from their website but I bought mine off of Facebook marketplace it just happened to be something that poped up when browsing tbh lol good luck in your search! 🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍👍

what is the wheels and tire combo. nice stance

Thanks! Rear is a 275/60R15 on a 15x10 and then front is 18” if you msg me on instagram I can get you exact specs I’ll have to dig through some emails 👍👍👍👍

​@bought2build I'm also interested in this wheel combo, do you know the offset / backspacing you're running? Modifications to fit?

[@bought2build]

@@OGANGLER it took a good bit of work to fit the rears I had to shave the fender lips and use a hammer on a little bit of the inner wheel well modify the brake hose banjo bolt and hose bracket I believe rear was +44 I’d have to look back at my emails I’d reach out to Jason at getyourwheels fair price and knew GTO’s well
