If I get it drained, is there any particular fluid you recommend? It has
positraction.
Thank you very much,

Mitch - The later cars had no drain holes. You will be able to pump (suck)
it out of the plug on the side that indicates the correct level with the
correct tool. Both the trans and the rear axle assembly have "sight" plugs to
indicate the correct level. There is a passage between them so, over time they
will level out, but can just pull both and suck them dry. Then check out the
correct gear lube, based, again, on sharing between the Diff and the trans. If
you are adding all new fluid, check with Red Line Oil or Amsoil for their
recommendations. I know redline makes a special additive that you add to their
regular gear lube to quiet down the squeeky clutches in the posi. You add just
enough to quiet them. - Seth Emerson
