Hello...

couple of questions...

1. how do you drain the fluid from the differential...I didn't see a
drain plug anywhere.

2. every so often....2 weeks or so....we get a pretty good clunk when
the transmission shifts from 1st to 2nd...and same on the downshift.
Anyone else experience this and how to fix it?

thanks

Dave

You have to remove the differential cover. When you replace it clean the
mating surfaces then run a bead of RTV silicon (I prefer blue for this kind
of seal) around the cover and bolt it in place. If you try to use a pump to
get it out of the fill hole you won't get all of it out.
