Hi,
1. How to drain? Oddly the service manual doesn't spell it out. I can see a plug in the transmission in the front lower edge. It instead of looking like a bolt is more of a plug with a square hole in it like I need to put a large square ratchet drive on it. Is this the drain hole?
2. I read somewhere about using the spedometer hole to put fluid in, but maybe people were talking about something newer than this. The spedometer hole looks like it is coming out the side and not an easy place to fill. They do call the place where you check the fluid the "charging pipe" so does it make sense that I will have to use this pipe to fill it?
3. The bottom of the automatic transaxle is really nasty. Gooey with dried up still slightly wet looking fluid. I don't have any leaking on my driveway so I don't know if this is from within the transaxle, or leaked from somewhere else. I used to have a power steeling leak and I wonder if it is from that. Could the power steering leak have ended up on the bottom of the transmission?
Thanks,
Alan
