Tranny drain plug location
HI! I want to change the tranny fluid in my bike and need help.Does anyone know where or if there is a drain plug on a 1999 /2000 Delkron tranny case 5 speed?
This is on a CMC calif.custom chopper with a super 88 S&S bored engine rigid frame.I looked under the bottom and did not see a drain plug,only mounting nuts attached to frame plate.The fluid is milky white but shifts fine.I have been told to use Mobile75W-90 syn in tranny. Is this OK? I have the S&S engine service manual but it dosent have anything on the tranny.Any help appreciated.

Sounds like you've got a bit of moisture/condensation in your tranny.
Don't know if this is the one that you have, but look near the bottom right of the case.

RE: Tranny drain plug location
most trannies ive ever seen have the drain plug as stated by Ron under the lower right cover. its a torx bit right dead center. this pic should help some...you can almost see it where the arrow is pointing. its right between the bolts. you can see it on yours, defined by the fact that its a different looking bolt, as i said, the main bolts are regular allen style, while the drain plug is a torx. make sure when you re-install it, put on a little dab of pipe dope, or teflon tape or something to seal it, and do not over tighten it, as it is tapered. only seat it, and maybe tighten another 1/4 to 1/2 turn after that. it doesnt require a ton of pressure to hold it. hope this helps.

Thanks guys for the help.After further investigation I found it as stated on the side of the case.I removed it and put in new fluid and it seems to shift a little better.
