Hugo, drive a distance to warm up the old gear oil before draining and to be on
the safe side, remove the filler plug before you drain. This way you won't be
caught in the awkward position of having an empty transmission. Also warm up the
new gear oil before using a transfer pump. It makes the job a lot easier. -Larry
