Yes but you will need a gasket!
Remove the tail cone and inspect the first gear teeth and syncro. Those tend to fail first and will give you a fair indication of the over all condition of the trans! |

Yes you have to drain it. I like Swepco (available from GPR).

I think it depends on what kind of defects that you think you are looking for. Pulling the tail cone will show you first/reverse. Chances are, your syncro is bad, or the dogteeth have seen better days. But if you are suspecting any other issues like other sycros or problems with 2-5, you will need to slide out the gear stack. Again, not a big issues but it is a little more involved. Look at some of the classic threads for lots of great pictures. My first experience as a 'novice' was completely dismantling a spare transmission so I could see how it worked. Then I rebuilt my good transmission, and with the help of some of the classic threads, it turned out great. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=18128 Dion |

You could get a bore scope from home depot (I need a good excuse to get one of these)..
It might fit inside the shifter console hole to allow you to look at the sliders... Rich |

Click on my 31 pages of notes link in my sig. It goes over oil, filling should be done after you remove the fill plug FIRST. Then, you remove the drain plug and fill it until it runs out of the fill plug hole.
