[V8] Manual Trans Oil

[too many quattros]

there are two drain plugs.  no exhaust dropping needed.  one is about 5
inches from the back of the diff.  the other is on the drivers side on the
lowest point below the shaft.  BEFORE YOU TAKE THESE OUT, GET OUT THE FILL
PLUG!  if u r still having issues, rap a shop rag over the bit to take away
some of the slop.  i usually take a screw driver and remove the crap in the
plugs then i use a hammer to tap the bit in.  let it drain, then refill with
a pump unit until it is dripping out the fill hole.  i usually just let the
wheels spin for about 5 mins, sit for 5 and recheck.  fill as needed.  BUT,
i have a hoist.  make sure the car is secure if u choose not to drop it to
the ground.  

btw, i tried to find Walker fluid online and could not.  i would not use it.
still saying MT 90 (warmer area) or MTL (colder area).

ALSO when u put the plugs back in, keep track of what holes the came out of
and make sure the ones with magnets go in the bottom holes and you don't
over tighten them.  i go until just barely snug then 1/4 turn.  they wont
fall out.
