    Most (including me) use SWEPCO 201 for the Tranny.

    You fill it via a hole in the side of the transmission and drain it via a plug at the bottom (be sure to remove the fill plug first). Try this web site if you want to do it yourself-- http://members.rennlist.com/harryd/Trannyoil-Change.htm.

    Don't need no stinkin pump. Gravity and time will do it. Use Sweepco.

    Glad to be of help.

    We were all once a newbie also. Ther are no dumb questions.

    Also, FWIW, besides here, another good resource for older 911's is the Pelican BBS (http://forums.pelicanparts.com).
