Sorry to disagree with you but there's one area where gender matters ... men can't get pregnant, at least not without the help of a partner. (Or significant medical intervention or issues.) But ONLY that one area ... to make any assumptions outside that is likely to mess with your psyche.
Please, please, I'm not knocking you. Not everyone has had the same educational opportunities that I have had, nor a father who was an absolute stickler on language precision and ability to express one's self.
There's a tremendous number of people in the same situation as you. Unlike some of them, I get the impression you're trying to learn and improve. That's something I want to encourage and like to help with.
I've been programming computers for almost a half century and some of the people I worked with were clearly geniuses. However, some of those geniuses weren't able to put together a coherent sentence if their life depended on it, never mind a complete paragraph.
On the other hand, you manage to get across what you're trying to say much better than some of those geniuses.
In the shops I worked in and managed, an ability to communicate with real people was a vital skill. (Computer programmers are unique beasts, living in their own little world, so I tended to call people outside that group "real people.")
As a supervisor, I always gave new people a writing test to determine their relative skill. If need be, I'd send them off to remedial English classes at the local college. (My commanders and I often got into disagreements over whether some of the college classes I signed off on were really mission-related courses that qualified for tuition assistance ... and I always won.)
So, if my attempts to help bother you, tell me to shut up. For most part, I'm only interested in helping you learn motorhome and motor vehicle terminology.
As for changing the fluid and filter in your A727 automatic transmission, you're in for a messy job unless someone replaced the OEM pan with an aftermarket pan that included a drain plug. With the OEM pan, you have to loosen the pan bolts and just let the fluid drain out everywhere. Also, be sure to drain the torque converter ... it holds a significant portion of the old fluid.
Be sure to use the correct amount and type of fluid. I burned up a newly rebuilt transmission by misreading x quarts as x pints. A good parts store should be able to tell you what type and how much. (Excuse me while I cuss and swear about what they're doing to my commercial account ... maybe I need to find a new store.)
Don't let them brush you off or give you a blank look just because you have a motorhome. (I've found it's best to not mention motorhome ... it scares them so just tell them 1978 B300 van.) The A727 automatic transmission has remained more or less the same from the early '60s right up until Mother Mopar replaced it with the A518. (A significant part of the A518 is the same as the A727 and many parts interchange.) Likewise, it doesn't matter if the A727 is in a medium duty truck, a motorhome, a pickup, or a sedan ... all of these have essentially identical A727 transmissions.
Enough for now ... the next installment of motorhome electrical systems is ready to be uploaded, as soon as I'm sure the kiddies at my ISP are done for the night with interrupting customers' Internet connections. (I also need to find the password for my domain account hosted by servers in Utah.)
