There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Most people do tranny first because it holds the least amount & is easier access...…..

Makes absolutely no difference. When you loosen the crankcase plug it will begin to leak or slightly stream out. I stuff paper towel into the void to the rear of the plug on the belly pan to keep oil from getting on the pan and then onto the garage floor. When you break the seal on the filter cover you will probably hear some more oil drain out of the clutch cover plug hole, so don't reinsert the plug as soon as it initially stops draining.

I do the engine side first, while its draining I remove the mirror and side panel. Unscrew the oil filter to let air in so it drains too then drain the transmission side. Go get a coffee while it all drains down completely. Replace everything and it's job done. Don't forget the oil! :yikes:
:agree: Good plan! And that last bit (quoted) certainly is a biggie! :thumbup: It's almost as important as remembering to put the drain-plug/s back in BEFORE you start re-filling with fresh oil!! :gaah: But, if you're anything like everyone else, you'll probably only ever forget to do that the once! :shocked:
