Trans fluid change

jddens · Post by **jddens** » Thu Jul 05, 2012 10:57 am

I'm getting ready to do my annual fluid changes. Normally I just change engine oil but want to include the transmissions this year. I have hurth direct drives. I'm assuming I can just pump out the fluid through the dip stick hole and refill with dextron?

Is this assumption correct?

Any idea of capacity?

Do I check level warm or cold?

Any tips are greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance..........John

They appear to Have dextron in them......red color on dipstick.....if theres a drain there's no way to get under it. I'll pump it out and refill using dip stick mark, idle and shift for awhile and recheck........sound like a plan?". thanks.....John
