Re: Transmission Fluid Change Question
From his post he sounds like he has limited experience. Putting a drain in
the converter is probably past where he should be starting.
Earle's idea has merit but if that is planned then adding a pan drain is
cheap and easy and he will not have to pull the pan a second time.
Don't forget the change the gear lube in the differentials while you are at
it.

Don't forget the change the gear lube in the differentials while you are at
it.

Re: Transmission Fluid Change Question
You'll always have to pull the pan for the filter, just that oil
will be in the drain can rather than all over you.

Re: Transmission Fluid Change Question
Heh. Wonder if there is a slang term for this.
With a creeper you could use a normal curb, or if you are skinnier than
I am or have a lift, nothing at all.

Re: Transmission Fluid Change Question
I haven't tried the curb, I prefer to be off the street when working on
vehicles.
I find retaining walls very convenient.
