1948 Chevy Fleetmaster Transmission fluid change

This is a video of basic maintenance on my 1948 Chevy Fleetmaster Country Club Coupe. On this video I replace the transmission fluid on a manual 3 speed transmission as well as engine oil.

I noticed the bottom transmission to bell housing bolts go from bell housing into the trans. I knew truck trans were like that but didn’t know early Chevy cars were the same. I learned something new and it’s always a good day when I learn new things, Thank You!

I have a 1948 chevy stylemaster just did a transmission rebuild trying to see if I have to put oil in the bellhousing area or does the transmission oil reach back there if I do have to put oil in bellhousing area how much

[@billchuplis9460]

Disconnect the speedo cable and remove the outer speedo gear then pump about 6-8 oz in through the hole.

[@euzkadi44]

Great video! What type of fluid are you using. I notice the nice bottle with the pump on it. What brand is this and did it come with the pump on it?

[@jacquesgrandjean4842]

Thank you fro the kind words. I use Lucas heavy duty SAE 80W90 gear oil that I transferred in a smaller container where my hand pump fit the top. I bought that pump on Amazon but it is a piece of crap that i would not recommend. You can use any pump that would fit on a regular oil container quart if you have an empty one laying around...

Mr chevy guy I'm looking for a 48 chassis let me know

[@ChevyGuy-kx7im]

sorry can't help you, I sold my 48 a couple years ago. Best of luck in your search

[@williamvanorden4700]

I have 2 1948 chevy fleetmaster's and found the same problems. No videos for it. Keep it up because I love learning more about my cars. How long have you had yours?

[@ChevyGuy-kx7im]

Thanks for the support. You have 2 1948 Fleetmaster, that pretty cool. I only had the car for a couple months but prior to that I had a 1946 that unfortunately burned down...I am working on the brakes and replaced shoes, springs, WC and MC and some lines that were frozen but I cannot bleed the system...The pedals goes to the floor, so the car is going in the shop next week....Will try to document my brake saga in the near future...

[@moonstar381]

[@ChevyGuy-kx7im]
