Bill:
There is a drain plug on the tranny, it is centered in the
bottom of the transmission housing. It is a square headed pipe plug,
3/8" NPT as I recall.
The Diff has no drain plug, which is a curious omission. Not
sure what the TR engineers were thinking here. Anyway, yes, you will
need a suction device. I suggest a "Jiffy Lube" or similar place, but
you can certainly fabricate one or buy one at an auto parts store. Jiffy
Lube has the needed tools to do the job. FYI, I am planning on adding a
drain plug to my diff while I am overhauling the chassis.
Cheers,
Vance

Subject: TR6 Diff ... Tranny
Hi folks,
My plan was to change the Transmission and Differential Oil
in the TR6 ... lo and behold there does not appear to be drain plugs
... I would still like to change the Oil, is there a good, better,
best way of doing this ... I am thinking some sort of suction device
...
Thanks for the help
