Flushing tranny fluid...can any1 help?

I looked in the how to's, and it only has a link for changing the tranny fluid on a 5 speed. anyone changed their AUTO tranny fluid that could write up a short but detailed how to? never done this before, but im good with cars, so i just need a general direction to start in. thanks

there should be a drain plug on the tranny, let it drain. Also there should be a fill plug somewhere on the side of the tranny but you are going to need a pump to get it up there, or route a hose from the top of the engine bay to the hole.

I don't know but there is a good tranny fluids for spirited driving. Keep your tranny running better and shifting faster, ask around because I ain't manual.

buy like 5, or how many you want. You got to fill up the manual tranny as much as you can and whatever is left return it

There are excellent sticky's on how to change the fluid on your auto or manual transmission in the "Fluids and Lubricants" forum
