Manual Transmission Fluid Change

[jp129]

I've searched the forums but haven't really found anything solid on where the drain and fill holes are on the manual trans. Has anyone done a trans fluid change themselves?

I'm wondering the same. Couldn't find any resources on the forum but I found a video showing the transmission oil change on an Evora. Not sure if it's the same for Emira.

Evora Transmission Fluid Change

I suspect the guide in the factory service manual for the Evora 400/GT will be nearly identical, if not the same, for the Emira.

When I was under the engine bay doing the engine oil change, it wasn't obvious where the drain and fill holes are. What I would suspect is the drain, was plumbed to something. I need to investigate further, but just curious if anyone had direct first hand experience.

Emira Manual Trans Fluid Change

I just changed the break-in engine oil on my V6 Emira, and while the car is up on the Quickjack and I have the underpan off, I'd like to change the trans fluid too. Anybody know where the drain plug is, and the refill hole? I have a service manual, but it appears to only show the auto trans.

Looks the same as the series 2 Evora.

Excellent! Thank you for the link to the thread. That diagram is very helpful!

There is a bit of information in this thread (page 12). I don't think the procedure is identical to the Evora. I can't find more information, but I believe it was confirmed in another thread that the drain or fill plug was in a different location.

As of today, I'm now free to roam about the cabin as it were:

I was going to wait until the dyno run stock to get this started, but I've been accumulating enough things that I think I'll go ahead and get this journal underway.

Here's the first time I saw the car when my sales guy sent me a picture. I bought it from Park Place Lotus in Bellevue, Washington, and Alan Grana was my sales guy. He was great through the whole process right from the day I placed my deposit, all through the long wait until the car arrived.

Here's the day it was delivered. My...
