Remove the large, brass drain plug from the overdrive unit itself as well as
the drain plug from the gearbox. Remove the screen that's beneath the large
brass o/d plug and clean it thoroughly. Clean out any crud you can reach in
the recess where the screen resided. Use 20/50 oil in the gearbox and o/d
(opinion).
