RUG overdrive trans oil

Post by johnnyUK »

Hi all,
I have a 1972 390 F100. It had a 1978/79 RUG 4 speed overdrive transmission fitted in the USA before I imported it to the UK.
I want to change the trans oil, but can't find a drain plug, only a top up plug, on the casing.
I also need to know what grade/type oil it needs.
Can anyone help ?
Cheers Johnny
