Fluid Change Question
I'm going to change the trans oil in my '81 and replace a leaky gasket.
What's the best way to drain the fluid?
Also, I have a small leak on my oil pan as well...is it a pain in the butt to replace those gaskets as well?
Thanks for any help.

just loosen the trans pan and it will start to drain....then remove all the bolts and take the pan down....get a filter kit with new gasket and you are good to go.....and yes the torque converter is still filled with old fluid
