() Date: September 20, 2022 12:32PM I always like to drain fluids when components are hot but I know that is not always possible (especially on classic cars). If you have it apart and are going to reseal it how about remove the side cover and dump it on its side and let it drain drain drain (like overnight). Same thing on the differential (remove the top cover and dump it upside down). Re: old lube in trans and diff Posted by:

Something like this would do the trick: [www.amazon.com] James 65 Corsa SF Bay Area Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum. |
