I searched in 1972 Shop manual but I can't find how to drain (or suck) the oil from the tranny and replace it.

I just replaced rear axle oil sucking it with a giant syringe, I would do the same on Muncie but can't find the plug :-)

thanks

As I recall from my '67 ragtop 4 speed days, a filler hole with pipe plug should be on trans passenger side, approx half way up the side.

There also should be a boss for a drain plug on the bottom of the passenger side of the trans. I had drilled and tapped the boss for a small ( 1/4 or 3/8") pipe plug, although I think I had the trans out when I did it. It might be possible to do it with the trans in the car, but I honestly do not remember.

Perhaps someone else will jump in with a more current advise.

thanks! I had a quick look at the wrong side, if no drain I will suck it with my big syringe

I beleive we have the same issue. I could not suck the oil from the fill hole, hose would not go in more than an inch. If you find a method that works please share. I do not want to drill and tap.

Thanks

ok, drained the old muddy oil and put 1 1/2 qt of Amsoil synt 80w90 I had in the shelf, it should be ok at least better then almost nothing and muddy!

my vette sat for more than 2 years since I bought.

thanks!

Usually you can pull the bottom bolt on the tailhousing and it will drain out there. Not perfect.....but it will get a lot of it eventually. Needs to be warmed up..or let it sit for a week or so draining!
