Transmission Fluid DIY?

mikecsa · Jul 29, 2014

Anyone did this themselves yet and have some input?

Also, for those using the DIY Oil Change info you might want to consider switching to doing a drain from the plug underneath occasionally because I found a very small oil leak while doing a change that the dealer hadn't seen before on this model...

Thanks

I have not done it, will probably do after 50K miles. I do have instructions from a British shop manual, seems simple enough. I do it often on cars that go to the racetrack, and always do the "measure and replace the same amount" method.
Keep in mind you can not replace 100% of the Trans fluid, as some will be left in the cooler. Unless someone here has figured out how to do the full flush by disconnecting the oil cooler return line....
Let me know if you want the PDF file, send me a pm
