Subject: Tranny Oil Change ?????

 Ok folks I am about to change the tranny oil w/ MTL and I've got

a couple of questions:



<P>1). My tranny filler plug wasn't really screwed in all the way (ie there

was a bit of thread left about 1/4" showing). Is this correct ? Should

there be that much thread left showing ?



<P>2). The filler plug has a square head and I can't seem to find anything

that will fit except a wrench. Obviously you can't except to find out how

much torque your placing on this plug so what do you do ? How far should

u thread it down to ?



<P>3). Should you place some anti-seize compound on the filler plug &

the drain plug ?



<P>4). What's the best way of draining the oil from the turret section

? And the best way to re-fill it ?

<BR> 



<P>Thanks all,



<P>Ian
