[Roadsters] Changing transmission fluid

[Keith0alan at aol.com]

Always remove the filler plug before removing the drain plug. Drain plugs
are easy to get out but sometimes filler plugs are impossible. This can lead
to  some colorful language.

I have a  1969 1600 with 4-speed that can use a transmission fluid change.
I've never  done a trans fluid change.  I restored the car 2 years ago and
trans  was the only fluid I didn't replace, so the existing is at least 15
years  old.  I logged about 1000 miles in last week's scorching hot
weather,
this week something under my feet occasionally rumbles on  deceleration.

I'm going to check the driveshaft bolts and change the  rear-diff oil, but
when it comes to the gearbox I have no clue what I'm  doing... although I'm
a
fast learner and I have Scott Sheeler's "Datsun  Roadster Book".

- I don't see a trans dipstick, how do I check the  gearbox oil level?  How
much oil should be in there?   *4speed*
- Is the filler bolt the one underneath on the driver's/left  side?

Other tips are greatly appreciated... step by step instructions  are
better... instructions with pictures and I'll send you a Christmas  card
every  year.
