Default Fluid change?

Hi. I am going to cahnge all the fluids in my 73 vette.

Annyone now the difrent volumes of fluid to be changed?

When changing the fluid on the automatic transmission, How is i supsed to do this and getting everyting out. Including thr converter??????

Do i need to change any filters exept the oil filter for the engine???


(I have bought a old car without any documention, But everything is running perfect, 69k on the sppedo. Witch i asume to be corect because the original brakes still was sitting on the rear)

Any other tips to a lucky put unexperienced corvette ovner would be apprciated!!

Thanks

You cant get all the fluid out, So have to pull the tranny out to to empty the torque converter. But anyways the transmission pan shoudl be pulled, buy a new filter kit and prolly 5 quarts of Atf 3...
