Trans fluid .

That is something I was not aware of! Is plug easy to get to?

NO

NO

It's a couple bolts to remove the cover and a pipe plug. The only challenge being getting it to the right position.

NO

I got to the plug easy but never got it out.
Had the converter on the bench and the plug broke off. I bought a new converter.

Your experience is not typical. Someone overtightened or cross threaded the plug. I sometimes think most of the work I do on my old cars is fixing something somebody f'ed up in the past.

That said, I've never had a problem, never heard of that problem.

I pump six quarts of this out the dip stick tube every 20k mile on my Dakota. That little truck has been properly abused towing 5 to 10k pounds all over the southeast since 1993. It has 250k miles on it.
Napa has it for $25 a gallon this month, no shipping charge. If it's ordered online for home delivery it must be purchased three gallons at a time. No more no less. Probably for packaging purposes.

Napa just canceled my last order made on 11/24/24. Must be all gone. Bummer.

I always thought Dexron III was standard refill. Seems to work good in a couple 727's I have.
In one I put in a small bottle of Lucas trans fix and it took care of some slippage I had going in reverse.
