I went ahead and tackled the transmission oil with the hand pump today. I forgot how messy the job was, but the really frustrating thing was only being able to get 1.25L out despite a lot of wiggling and finessing the thin hose. I got 2L out last time with the same pump, but just couldn't get there this time for some reason (trans was full when I started). I guess I'll be trying the drain plug method after all at some point. Fluid was dark with a golden shimmer, but it looked about the same last time so I'm guessing it's just brass particles from the synchros.
And Ben, yes, 323k miles. It's on the original transmission and second clutch. I'm hoping to get at least 2 more years out of the transmission, but time will tell on that.
