CAUTION: Due to the method of construction. it is not possible to completely drain the transmission fluid, and this should be taken into account when
the transmission is being filled. As it should only be necessary to carry out the following operations preparatory to carrying out work on the transmission
which will involve removal of oil pan. the following procedure should be followed.

Unscrew the union nut, withdraw the dipstick tube (1. Fig 73), drain and discard the fluid.
Remove the bolts and plain washers (2, Fig. 73) securing the oil pan to the transmission case. Lower the oil pan, remove and discard the gasket (3, Fig
73)
Allow the fluid to drain and using a new gasket coated with grease, refit the oil pan.
Tighten the securing bolts by diagonal selection and reconnect the dipstick tube.
Refill the transmission with fluid to the "MAX" mark on the dipstick.
Apply the handbrake and select "P" position.

With the engine still running, withdraw the dipstick (1. Fig. 74). wipe it clean and replace it. Immediately withdraw the dipstick and note the reading on
the "HOT" side of the dipstick. If necessary, add fluid to bring the level on the dipstick to "MAX".

NOTE: The difference between the "MAX" (3, Fig. 74) and "MIN" (2. Fig. 74) marks on the dipstick represents approximately 0.75 litre (1 1/2 pints, 2
