Why isn't there a trans drain plug?
I just finished changing the trans fluid in my '76 Sierra Grande. I HATE THAT JOB. No matter how careful I am, I still get fluid on the floor and on me. To make matters worse, I can hardly loosen the two bolts that are blocked with the trans cross member. Please don't question my loyalty to "the General" or anything, but for goodness sake, why don't they install a drain plug in the trans pan? My TH350 pan even has a recess on the side where the plug could be installed and also be safe from road damage.
Thanks for reading my rant. Please join me.
