well i wrote a message in transmisson forum bout a knocking noise
well i through this forum i looked at the rod bearings knocking so i pulled the plug wire till it stop knocking well when i pulled number 4 wire it quick knocking. so i thought i had it solved, so i got some bearings to put in there and started to drain the oil to take pan off. well i found the knocking noise lol, no darn oil. so i put 4 quarts oil in there are no knocks now. now to the bigger problem how do i get motor oil out of the transmission. i cant belive they used motor oil for tranny fluid. how do i get it out of the transmisson with out take out the transmission.

My son bought a '69 Coronet that the owner thought had a bad transmission because it wasn't shifting properly. It turned out that someone had put motor oil in the transmission. We pulled the pan, replaced the fiter, drained the torque converter and put in fresh Dexron II. It ran perfectly for thousands of miles. One problem though...some torque converters don't have a drain plug.

If yours is a manual transmission, I would use a suction pump to remove what you can and refill with gear lube. You can have it done inexpensively, or you can buy a cheap pump and do it yourself.

Motor oil in a standard transmission will work just fine if you don't abuse the transmission. When I lived in cold country, we often put kerosene in transmissions so you could shift them when it got well below zero. We also used kerosene in the crankcase during break-in.

My 71 904 does. Remove the inspection plate, and turn the crank either by the bolt in the balancer or the fan. You will see it.

Other then a suction pump through the dipstick tube you have to drop the pan to drain the fluid. This would be a good time to either install a drainplug or install an aftermarket pan with drainplug built in. I bought an MP pan for $40 or so I belive, part# P4007886AB. Comes with a filter, spacer, longer screws to attach the spacer, and a cheap cork/paper gasket. You can also get them from summitracing.com or any other MP dealer. I also suggest you use the heavier rubber mopar gasket, part # 4295875AC to help prevent leaks and throw away the gasket that came with the kit.
