Okay, I'm working on my '66 Westy which hasn't been driven in 13 years. I'm replacing the axle boots because they're crumbly and one is actually leaking oil. I have both of the new boots and I'm wondering if I should drain the oil completely and then refill the tranny with new oil. My manual says to use SAE 90 hypoid oil. First of all, is this something I can get at my FLAPS? and secondly, can I refill it myself? The engine is out right now so I can probably get to the fill plug from above. All of the pictures I've ever seen about this have a funky filler pipe thingy that looks very professional (i.e. VW extra-super-duper-once-in-a-lifetime tool #whatever). A somewhat related question: I need an automatic transmission dipstick and tube for a '73 bus. Somehow, mine was lost in my mother's garage. Does anybody have one they don't need? Thanks in advance -Erik
