i have a 1999 automatic, and am wanting to just drain(not flush)....so my question is how do i go about doing this, do i need a new trans filter? Please any input would be much appreciated.....i already have the trans fluid...4 quarts because the guy at the dealer ship said draining it would only remove 1/2 of the old fluid, and then in another 4,000 miles drain it again and put a fresh four quarts.

please post any steps, pics, or links related to draining and refilling tranny fluid, thanks

It is in the stickies in hte Fluids section.

you'll feel the difference once your done. good job.

so, all i will need to do is remove the drain plug underneath and allow some of the fluid to drain....then fill w/ a funnel throught the tube where the transmission dipstick is.
