I stated in the video, I am still not 100% sure if you should drain the fluid from the location shown. I do know the question of a drain plug has been in question for YEARS, so since my transmission was junk anyway, I figured why not find out.
my findings: well the fluid defiantly drains out BUT, That" bolt" is in there VERY tight, AND the aluminum threads are very fine.. so I can't really say it is capable of being a drain plug or not. If you decide to use it as a drain plug YOU ARE DOING IT AT YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISSHAPS
I’ve done it, worked for me. I was literally gonna do a video next time because when I did it there was no video but you got it! When I did it there was just some forum stuff on it. I just did pipe dope when I put it back in because the threads were a little fine.
Yep it's a detent as has been stated. Suggest locking the car doors so no-one can move the gear lever while the plug is out.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you. Have a great day.
That's a spring loaded ball used to push up against the shift interlock! It's part of the mechanism to prevent the transmission from moving both axles or into two gears simultaneously. I would think that it's fine to use it as a drain plug as long as you don't shift.
That was kind of my thoughts. The only thing that really makes it sketchy is, that bold is REALLY tight and the threads are VERY thin and aluminum. Could very possibly pull some threads when removing . But if clearly is possible to drain from there at owners discretion
This may not be an intended drain plug, but you can absolutely use it as one. I've done it at my shop and have not problems after re-installing it. That is a spring loaded ball that engages a detent on the shaft you can see through the threaded hole. I would suggest removing it in neutral and not touching the gear selector levers until it is re-installed though.
Thabks so much man! What would you guess was the torque spec for that? I tend to tighten things too much so id like to use my torque wrench 😂
How many liters were you able to drain from that hole? I opted for removing the driver's side axle shaft, but I only collected 1.5 liters compared to the 2.3 liters indicated as the total capacity by the various oil finder tools of the oil manufacturers
What's the torque spec for tightening the 8mm fill plug?
It's the drain plug or not? I have the same transmission and I can drain the oil from this bolt? What is this plug
Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you for your service 🙏🤘
Thanks, brother
Are you still running this for rally? Ive found one i want to get for rally but its auto so id need to change to man. Basically ive having a hard time find docs or videos about the se if you got any resources id really appreciate it.Thank you have a good day.
I still have the car, but last 2 years I got 2nd over all in my class, so I stopped and retired the car before I killed it.
You do NOT want the auto. It's best you just keep looking for a manual.
As far as set up, I'm running 2014 Ford Fiesta SE a Magnaflow cat back, Bilstein shocks, aluminum belly pan/engine guard (you can see it in a different video of mine), stainless steel Brake lines, front and rear strut braces, a frame brace behind the rear seats, ITG drop in air filter, aftermarket plug wires, Hawk front bads, Sumitomo Ice Edge tires all the way around to name a few things.
It's a great rally car. It's fairly inexpensive, handles great, good head room for helmet, comfortable seats, good instrument cluster. etc..
I went with the SE for a few reasons over the ST.
1. It's cheaper. I figured if I crashed it, I wouldn't be as upset.
2. The ST overheats often during hard driving (I have seen them over heat at the track and not finish)
3. No, the SE is not powerful, BUT it makes up for it in a few ways. It's low power doesn't spin the tires as easy to you go forward instead of spinning. It's a very easy car to drive at the limit. It handles very well. I also just bought a road race car, so I'm back on the asphalt
4. It's fun to beat up on it, because it just keeps taking it.
Feel free to ask anything else
What is that plug called and where can I get one? I'm having a terrible time tacking this thing down.
The plug in question is called a 'access cap'. Mechanics use her to set up the paul. Do not unscrew it or the shifter will fall into the PTO. One will be magnet fishing 🧲 The access cap can be bought from a wreaking yard
@@misterspot1552 I got a Ford fiesta kinetic sedan trend plus 2013 manual transmission like this, how do I change the oil of this transmission without breaking it 😅😅😅 don't know please help
Does anybody know forsure which oil or fluid that goes in the 5 speed? The manual says dct fluid but I go to the dealer says that doesn't look right and says the 75w90 goes in it. 2017 1.6l
I mean I sure hope it’s 75w90 because i’m filling mine tonight
@@owengeisinger456 I went with what the manual said.
Use dual clutch fluid
I used the ford stuff from dealer. Yea it’s a little more expensive but you only buy 2 quarts if I can remember right, maybe 3? But have a little left over
@@chrisbeasley8342 you can also purchase the dual clutch fluid made by Valvoline I think it's only $12 a quart.
What type of transmission fluid is needed to replace and amount ?
It's a Ford "special " fluid. I'm not sure how true that is, but I didn't want to chance it. So I bought it from my local Ford Dealer
Para que es el conector en la parte de arriba de ese tornillo? Tengo un Ford fiesta y no lo tiene! Alguien sabe para qué es ?
I believe it's for the reverse light switch
That is a detent bolt .Or a BONEHEAD bolt
How many L?
2
pisses me of, some say oh its fin then some say "ohh nah dont use that take the axle out. Or bullshit like "sealed for life" like no oil is for life, what 100k. 150k. 200k?
Unbelievable😂 that's the clutch housing. How the heck? The liquid clutch option🤠 Head south some, to find the tranny's plug👁️🙂🤔🤨🧐 Perhaps oil from the tranny went into the clutch
LOL
No, that was the transmission 100%. The clutch is further to the left in that video. Where the engine meets the transmission. That plug is to the right, near the shifter cables
ib5 doesn't have drain hole. You have to remove gearbox and drain it from axle.
You can just pull one axle out of the driver side and use a suction hose to pull it out, or use it in the fill hole. No need to pull the while transmission
No, you don't. Just remove the fill plug and use a suction device with a long tube to suck out the old fluid. Time consuming, yes, but still doable.
@@LA_Commanderoddly, I don't think they all have a drain plug. Maybe it depends on the year. But my 2014 sure doesn't
the drain takes a 8mm hex just like the fill plug
So where is the drain plug then?
@@LA_Commander I have seen some guys pull out a drive shaft, and use a fluid sucker with a hose on it to suck as much transmission fluid out as they can. Then use the fluid sucking tool to put fresh fluid back in.
Like some say, using the bolt I pulled out to drain it is a "use that bolt to drain it AT YOUR OWN RISK"
It can be don't, but may not be worth the risk. I still can't fully confirm what that risk is they others are talking about.
Only on the older box. The newer one in this video do not have a drain plug because officially, the oil never needs changing.
nope not the drain
He knows it's not the drain, he's just suggesting that it could be used has the drain....
Wheres the drain then..
@@TurboTurdBurglar there really is not a drain. I just wanted to know what was behind that bolt because the transmission was junk anyway. So what better time to see what that bolt was for.
That’s the reverse light switch I have the same car you should not mess with that
Reverse light switch? How does it work? No wires go to it. Internal?
@@johnnyturbo8460 never mind right above it is the switch the plug you pulled is a drain plug for the manual transmission
@@chrisblack2808 got ya.. yeah some say you can drain it from there, some say not to.. I'm still not 100% sure.. it does drain from there as you can see.. BUT that bolt is in there REALLY tight, the threads are very fine and it is aluminum. So yes fluid can be drained from there but I can see those threads getting damaged very easily 🤷🏻♂️
