Trans drain plug

[1997 fxstc]

I hate changing my trans fluid; it an effin mess.  Has anyone ever "engineered" a small drain line that comes off of the trans?

Are you talking about a Softail, where you have to pull the exhaust to get at it? A drain hose would be tough to get screwed in there before it started draining and making a big mess anyway. I used to try and tape everything up and funnel it to the pan. Then just gave up, made a mess, and sprayed it down with brake cleaner afterward.

Yea but I manage without taking the exhaust off, that fluid wouldn't be changed if I had to drop the exhaust every time. I wonder what Harley's engineer's were thinking during times like this.

They were thinking you would pay them to do it.
