Older Paxton Balldrive fluid change
I made an interesting discovery today, it is not plumbed into the tranny! There is NOT a drain plug anywhere, and I need to change the fluid asap. Anyone with any information please post, pm or email me asap please
I got a 500 mile road trip set up for tomarrow if I can get this darned fluid changed.

Cameron,
go to the local dollar store and get a turkey baster. The sn ball drive units use a turkey baster that has a tube attached to teh inside of the baster. The tube extends the reach of teh baster which allows you to remove all of the fluid. Don't freak out! So now, get some sort of metal tube or plastic tube that will fit inside the baster, then empty the oil out.
Now, IF and or when you need a rebuild, shoot me a pm. Right now is a busy time for me..going through a medical program at harborview...time is sparce for me...sleep too! I have rebuilt my sn2000 twice. Easy as pie! The sn units are self oiling units and you can purchase an oil cooler which is essential for extending the life of these chargers. I have heard the horror stories of the sn units, however, I ahve been lucky with mine! I was going to get a procharger, but i have had such good luck with mine, I decided to keep it. I do like the fact that it is mouse quiet! One other reason I don't want to spend another 3g's for a procharger. Dont' get me wrong, If I had to choose between teh two, procharger is the one I would pick! But since I have the sn2000 and I know how to work on them, I"m keeping it. I do have a repair manual for them too, so when that unit starts making a whistling noise, PM me. AND GET the oil cooler! call craig at paradise wheels, its about 300 bucks.
