<VV> Stupid transmission / differential drain plug question (EM 110 - 4-speed)

[Frank DuVal]

No need for pictures, the drain plugs were deleted by 1964. You can get 
the tranny drained by removing the backup lamp switch, but you still 
need the suction tool to complete the differential.

If you were just draining to change the seal, don't bother. Just clean 
up what drips out and check level when finished. I doubt you will lose 
enough to even have to add any if it is full to begin with.
