This is the procedure from the '69 FSM.


Drain and Refill
(1) Raise vehicle on a hoist. Place a drain container
with a large opening, under transmission oil pan.
(2)Loosen pan bolts at one corner, tap the pan to
break it loose allowing fluid to drain, then remove the
oil pan.
(3)Remove access plate from in front of converter,
remove drain plug allowing fluid to drain (Fig. 4).
Install and tighten converter drain plug to 110 inch-
pounds, and install the access plate.
(4) If necessary, adjust the reverse band.
(5)Install a new filter on bottom of the valve body,
and tighten retaining screws to 35inch-pounds.
(6)Clean the oil pan, and reinstall using a new
gasket. Tighten oil pan bolts to 150 inch-pounds.
(7) Pour six quarts of Automatic Transmission Fluid
AQ-ATF Suffix "A" or (Dexron) through the filler
tube.
(8) Start engine and allow to idle for at least two
minutes. Then, with parking brake on, move selector
lever momentarily to each position, ending in the
neutral position.
(9) Add sufficient fluid to bring level to the "ADD
ONE PINT" mark.
Recheck fluid level after transmission is at normal
operating temperature. The level should be between
the "Full" mark and "ADD ONE PINT" mark.
