This DIY (Do It Yourself) How-To video shows how to change the fluid in a typical BMW manual transmission. See our other “Under Car Fluid Changes” videos for; front differential, rear differential, automatic transmission, transfer case, MINI trans-axle and standard under-car oil change.
NOTE:
We are performing these fluid changes on a vehicle lift. All of these fluid changes cane be done “at home” using a common floor jack and jack stands or even drive-on ramps).
On a manual transmission case, there are both a fill plug and a drain plug. The fill plug is normally on the passenger side of the transmission case, near the middle of the side of the case. The drain plug is on the bottom of the transmission, typically at the rear or middle of the case.
Most manual transmissions will need 1.5 to 2 quarts, or liters, for a fluid change. Check the applicable Bentley repair manual for model specific fluid quantities.
