TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE?

HELLO TO ALL, THIS IS MY FIRST TIME USING THIS WONDERFUL RESOURCE.

I HAVE A 06 SN SPORT WITH AN EXCALIBUR 330 ENGINE. IN READING MOST OF THE POSTS REFENCE WINTERIZATION, MOST FOLKS TALK ABOUT CHANGING THE TRANS FLUID. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE TRANS A LITTLE BUT I CAN NOT FIND A "PLUG OR HOSE" TO DRAIN THE FLUID. AM I MISSING SOMETHING? DO I NEED TO SUCK THE FLUID OUT THROUGH THE DIP STICK PORT? SO FAR, I FEEL I CAN HANDLE ALL THE OTHER ASPECTS OF THE TASK OF WINTER PREP, BUT THIS ONE HAS ME STUMPED.

ALSO ANY IDEAS WHERE A GUY CAN PURCHASE THE IMPELLER I NEED. MOST PLACES SEEM TO WANT $35. IS THAT A GOOD PRICE. I HAVE THE DRAWINGS OF THE RWP AND THE PARTS LIST.

BTW WE LIVE IN NORTHERN IDAHO SO WE GET SOME COLD WEAHTER UP HERE. ALSO I BUILT A "FAKE A LAKE" YESTERDAY, I AM EXCITED TO TRY IT. IT WAS PRETTY EASY AND ONLY COST $13 TOTAL.

IT IS SO NICE TO BE PART OF SUCH AN IN DEPTH FORUM. I APPRECIATE ALL YALL'S INPUT AND KNOWLEDGE.

THANK YOU.

OK thank you,

as for the caps, we only type in caps at work, so it is a bad habit no offence intended.

at the risk of sounding like a total idiot........you said, "on the impeller I´m a ford guy but 35 seems to be the right price". is my engine a ford or Chevy. i thought it was a ford 351. but i have no idea. if not is there any way to tell by looking at it. the only plate has a universal 5.0/5.7 in the one box. it also says "pcm" on most of my paperwork (the paperwork that i had to steal off the internet)

again, thank you

you totally rock thank you

ya, what eric said, lol.   but honestly, i have never been a engine guy. i have had good luck with Chevys and Fords, so as long as it starts and pulls my family around the lake it makes me happy.

thank you gentle men.

changed the trans fluid this morning. it was just as simple as you all made it sound. thank you again. working on the oil now, hopefully a nother week on the water next week, if mother nature allows it.

One more thing, unrelated, but kinda. I noticed in your diary you have 265 for horsepower.

If you have an Excalibur 330, you have 330 horsepower. The Excal 330 is a 5.7 liter (aka 350 cubic inches) motor.

Not a bad Chevy to have

i am such a burden,,,,,
i do not know where the link/button is to change my info on the boat. i have located the profile link but nothing in there talks about the boat.

ya i did that part (drained block and changed oil, changed trans fluid also0. then i read some more threads on here and many people talked about refiling with rv antifreeze. so i thought hey might keep rust down a bit. so what the heck can't hurt.

i am confident i will not have any issues freezing but was more concerned with the amount it takes to refill it. i would have never guessed 3 gallons, especially without filling the manifolds.

so is this your job?, "bail dumb asses like me out of the muck?" i so appriciate your quick responces and valuable information.

also im headed to florida next week i am going to pick up my new impeller and hopefully go a tour of the factory/show room.

No, no, it's not my job. It's how I procrastinate from doing my actual job
