Installed a833 with od tips before start?

[Purepony]

Trans is in
drive shafts on
Pedals done
Clutch fork and pedal feels good
Purchased crc sta lube 85w90 1 gallon
Loosened larger plug on pass side

Any tips for filling this trans or anything else I should know before start ?
Thanks everyone

The speedo gear needs to be in and covered or fluid will leak out.

Put some Teflon tape or other sealant on the threads of the drain plug.  Mine seeped a little, despite lots of tightening, without it. 

Plan on using a hand pump.  There isn't room to tip bottles into the fill port.   

Fill 'till it spills. 

I bought a rebuilt A833 OD from Jamie Passon which includes running the same oil you're using.  I've had a little difficulty downshifting.  There other other posts here that suggest switching to ATF +4 to address this problem.   I talked with Jamie about the downshifting issue.  He indicated the synchros probably haven't seated yet (only have about 600 miles on it), and to call him back if I'm still having the issue after the mileage is in the 1-2k range.

Great info
Thank you Dakota I needed that now I am concerned about the oil type hmm I'm in ca I did read that the atf is considered better in cold climate but went with the gl4 because of brewers abd mostly online now I'm second guessing

You will need a suction gun to fill or some kind of pump .
I would use GL4
It will hold a gallon & should be at the fill plug level when full as above .
