I guess mine are not orginal as they are plastic "pins" that push in with a rectangular head but no screws :'( -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com]On Behalf Of Jack Sent: Saturday, December 11, 2004 5:01 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: filling or refilling tranny?
Same questions as Bill's plus one. Is it possible to tilt/park the Vanagon in such a way that more of or nearly all the old oil will drain (4 sp, manual, 2wd)? Or can this only be done with the tranny out? (Ok, that's 2 questions.)
