In this video, we're draining the transmission fluid and installing a TDS PTO Cover to make fluid changes easier in the future. The PTO cover allows us to fill from the fill plug machined into it and add an extra 3 quarts to the factory fill. Some people attempt to fit 6 quarts into the transmission by doing a top side fill, removing the shift tower, and filling it that way. We're able to accomplish 2 quarts over that method, in a quarter of the time.
