Was wondering if it is a good idea to change out the transmission oil in my vintage Maytag washer? I am considering draining the old oil and replacing with fresh new oil. How would I drain out the old and is there a fill plug somewhere on top?

No drain plug, and no fill plug. Disassembly is required.

Heck

Guess I'll just leave well enough alone unless there is a problem. I am sure that oil is in need of changing though.

Near complete disassembly is required simply to remove the transmission.

At that point you're into full overhaul territory. Not a bad idea on a vintage machine but I would get prepared with the tools and replacement parts needed. Also, expect it to take longer and be more work than you imagine.

There are several good posts on Maytag transmission rebuilds here on AW.
