It's always a good idea to replace old gunky oil with new. You may want to replace it twice. Once to help clean out the old gunk, then in a hundred miles or so to provide good clean lube. If the transmission fails after replacing the oil, it's not the new oil that caused the problem, just that the transmission was ready to go anyway.
You'll get all kinds of opinions as to what oil to use in the transmission. If in doubt, follow the owner's manual recommendation. Townsend Imports has the only real data that I've seen, but I doubt the conclusion about converting from gear lube back to motor oil.
Removing the oil drain plug will require a long breaker bar. I usually use a 4-foot length of pipe on my breaker bar to get it to come loose. Of course, don't tighten it anywhere near that tight. "Snug" with a 1/2" ratchet is good. I forget what torque is specified by the manual. You can reuse the copper washer if you apply a little silicone sealer (oxygen sensor safe) when you reinstall.
