[C320-list] Transmission Fluid

[Ted Barto]

On Hull #78 the original engine is listed to be a Perkins M30, the Hurth 
HBW50 transmission was most often used and requires ATF for fluid. You 
should confirm this with a visual inspection.

One tip for people using suction pumps like the 'oil boy' and others for oil 
and transmission changes is to get a 10-12" length of 1/4 inch copper tubing 
from a home center like you'd use for an ice maker and fit the suction tube 
over this.  It will work much better/faster than plastic tube and will stay 
straight so you can get to the deepest part of the pan.  Costs a couple 
dollars.

Just suck the transmission oil out where the dipstick goes, unless anyone 
knows some other trick.
