i over filled mine a little. good to know i'm not hurting anything.
overfilling is pretty common in 4 wheeling. i always did it because my truck was never level. i was always off kilter. :wink:Another one dead: 1985 2+2 GLL, stripped going to the recycler!!! doing my part to stop global warming!

It may not be a repost, but it is very old news. The N4W community has known this to be fact for many years.

There is a TSB from about 96 or 97 that says the case for the FS5R30A is being superceded to a new part number. It relocates the oil fill hole to a position 1" higher. NO other changes that I know of.
As for overfilling, I dont see how it hurts a manual tranny. If anything it "may" cause a little extra drag on the moving parts. Whoopity doooo!
I've been keeping my eye open for a later tranny to snag. If I found one in good shape, it would get used on my pathfinder. If I find two it will get used on the Z.

Foaming does not come from fill level. If it doesnt foam at the lower level it wont at the higher with a manual. That concept is from the auto's where they have pressurized systems to move the fluid where it needs to be. If you overfill them, they foam because the fluid is getting up into moving parts where it should not be.

Not pour out of the shifter hole.
Have a buddy look under the car, while you start pouring. Stop when he sees some drip out.
This method was reccomended to me several years ago, in regerds to this particular transmission. They never had an issue, and neither have I.Drive
