Changing transmission fluid on my C7 manual
Hi Folks, going to change the trans fluid on my 2014 manual tomorrow.
I will be swapping it out for some RedLine D4atf.
Is this job any different from a C6 or C5? Any special instructions? Thanks!

Super easy. You will need a pump
You will need a pump to pump it from the quart container into the transmission. I think you need the same pump to change the differential, too. I would do them both at the same time.

This^ you should need 4 qts. I used royal purple synchro max and max gear after the first 500 miles. The trans will look like a bubble gun color and the rear end will have tiny metal and tan color fluid.
Rpm transmission recommends this fluid in all there builds as well as stock form.
4 for trans
3 for rear gear.

I had a cheap plastic transfer pump and it broke before I even got the fill tube full of fluid....so I had to come up with an alternate method to fill the transmission and differential....
I drilled a couple of holes in the cap of one of the bottles and used my small air compressor with air flow nozzle, to apply pressure to the top of the bottle and push the fluid out the fill tube... You can control the flow and watch the level drop in the bottle to see how much fluid is going in...
Note: The fill tube needs to go to the bottom of the bottle and keep air pressure low (10 psi or less) to keep from over pressuring the bottle..
Worked great..

Which Redline for the trans?
There are a few different mixes and model numbers for the different oils listed for both the diff and rear end.
Any change with noise when swapping the rear end fluid?
