5 Speed Drain

[Archive]

I know this may be a dumb question, but where is the drain plug on the 5 speed? Do I just take one of the inspection plates off. .
I want to change the gear oil in it so that I know that it has synthetic.

Take out the bottom bolt on the PTO cover. The fluid will drain right out. While you're at it you may want to install the filter from Geno's garage. It simply replaces the PTO cover plate and adds about 8 ounces (I think) of fluid to the transmission plus a filter.
