Gearbox Oil Replacement

Model: Saab 9 5 Ys3e, MK 1 - Years 1997-2010
Part: Transmission fluid

This tutorial covers the gearbox oil replacement on a Saab 9 5. Once you locate the gearbox oil sump under the vehicle, use a 24 mm spanner to undo the plug: the fluid will drain into a container. If the plug is in good condition, it can be cleaned and reused. Replace the sealing washer and refit the plug. Clean the area around the plug with a cloth, then tighten it (without over-tightening as the thread is quite delicate). Remove the dipstick and add the necessary amount of transmission oil (in this case, 3.9 litres). Clean the area around the upper sump opening and reinsert the dipstick.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
