Manual Transmission Oil Change Do it without making a mess! ◆◇◇◇ Easy
Some people tend to be more reactive than preventative. Many times when the actual problems occur, they are usually very expansive! Yet a lot of the failures could be easily prevented by keeping up with the regular maintenance alone!
Jeeps are no exception, because it is "Trail Rated", doesn't mean it is extra maintenance free. Because of 4x4 system and the harsh environment it faces, it requires more maintenance than any other vehicle. On this page, I am presenting how to change the manual transmission (AX-15) oil which is a part of manufacturer's recommended scheduled maintenance.
Tools and Supplies Needed Socket and Ratchet Set Oil Catch Bin Sheet of Metal (Home Depot, $5) GL-3 Approved Tranny Oil (Redline MTL ~3 quarts) Hand Oil Pump (Autozone ~$15)
Job Hours 30 minutes or less
I decided to go with the Redline MTL over Redline MT-90 because it is thinner. I also found out it is hard to find GL-3 in general automotive stores, in fact I had to order it online. SummitRacing.com tends to have great price and cheap shipping compared many other online vendors.
Procedure
Reach in and remove the bolt, and let the oil flow!
3. The drain bolt has magnet built in, unless you just replaced the tranny oil, chances are it is gunked with metal shavings. Clean it with paper towel.
4. Once all the oils are drained, put the drain bolt back on. I put on a Teflon tape that is used for plumbing around the drain bolt. It helps seal better. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLT!
6. Put the fill port bolt back on, once again put on some Teflon tape. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLT!
You are done! Mine shifted better after the tranny oil change.
If you have any questions or recommendations, please let me know!!

Let's
be honest. How many of us strictly stick to the manufacturer's
recommended maintenance schedule? Some might say the maintenance
schedule suggested seem premature. Whatever your view might
be, the dealer can decline your warranty claim if you can't
provide sufficient document to prove that you kept up with the maintenance
and they will beat in court.)
