DRIVE TRANSMISSION
Maintaining proper lubrication level in the transmission is very important to the life of the gears and bearings.
Manual Transmission (Suzuki K6A Engine)
Check transmission fluid level every 100 hours (or 3 months).
Change transmission fluid every 600 hours or (12 months).
Transmission Capacity: 1.05 qts. (0.9 L)
Recommended Lubricant: SAE EP 80-90 Gear Lube
The filler plug is located on the right side of the transmission. When removed, the filler plug opening is used to deter-
mine proper fluid level.

Transmission Drain Plug (Suzuki K6A Engine)
The fluid level must be level with the bottom of the filler plug hole.
If level is low, add fluid (through the filler hole) until it begins to flow from the filler hole. Reinstall the plug.
To drain the transmission fluid, remove the drain plug on the rear of the transmission.
When draining and filling the transmission, use a pipe thread sealant on the plug threads before replacing them.

Check transmission fluid level every 100 hours (or 3 months).
Change transmission fluid every 600 hours or (12 months).
Transmission Capacity: 1.34 qts. (1.3 L)
Recommended Lubricant: SAE EP 80-90 Gear Lube
