6 Sp and Rear Diff, Plug fill after fluid levels off or while its still coming out? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi, I changed the Tranny and Rear fluids, Do you guys wait until the fluid is done running out to put fill plug in or do you do it when it is still running out? I did it while it was still running out and figured I may have an extra OZ or so of fluid. Both my Rear and Tranny which had factory fill ran out ran I removed the fill and the car was fairly level. The tranny also released air pressure. Should I jack it back up and let the fluid level off?

Nope, you're fine.

That’s perfectly fine. I always close the plug on my rear while it’s still coming out.
