Another L285 question

[avvidclif]

In doing maintenance on this new to me I changed all the fluids. Engine went fine. Transmission not so. Drained from the plug under the shifter and got out a little over 5 gal. It's supposed to hold just over 7 gal. I figured it was just low and refilled it. At just over 5 gal it was running out the level plug hole.

Is there another drain on the rear end I missed or what??? The OM and SM are the pits.

There is 3 to 5 drain plugs.

2 of them will be on the bottom of the rear axle housings, that will get alot more out.

Thanks, just gotta love these old maintenance manuals. I guess I start over.
