1970 Case CK 580 - drain the torque tube?

I'm having some trouble with the clutch on my CK. When I try to start it, I hear a clashing noise the first few times. Then it starts. However, when I try to put it in gear, with the clutch pedal pushed down, I get more gear clashing, then it drops into place. Pressure won't stay in the green zone on the gauge.

Although the dipstick said the torque converter had enough fluid, I dumped in some more, the tractor started without clashing, but only twice. I also replaced the filter in front of the radiator.

Someone suggested I check the torque converter fluid to see if it had water in it. To do that, they said to drain off a little fluid and see how it looked.

The owner's manual shows three different drain points -
[list:e19d3a6bd7]torque tube drain
torque converter housing drain
torque converter drain[/list:u:e19d3a6bd7]

Which one is correct?
If I drain from one or all of them, do I use the torque tube dipstick to refill them all? (nothing else mentioned in the diagram)

Thank you in advance,

Scott
