nv5600 fluid change, pto cover?

i just looked under my truck to change some fluids, for the transmissin do i need to just take one of the pto covers off or just take a bolt out? im also guessing that the pto cover is the metal plate with 6 bolts in it. also can you fill it back up thru the top bolt hole?

You can get more fluid in it thru the top pto hole than the check hole. This is actually better for this trans.

its easiest to fill through the shift tower. pull the tower off and pour it in.

Pull the PTO cover as there is a little magnet sitting in the bottom of the housing. May as well clean the metal off while you are changing the fluid.



Just RTV the cover.
