Finally got transmission fluid done, thanks to this great thread! While it's a simple job, there are a few things that made it more than an oil change level DIY. Just a few notes:
- I used OE MTF-LT-3 from the tall narrow 1 liter bottles. You really have to be careful not to tip these while under the car.
- I used a simple $8 gear oil pump from harbor freight, while it works fine. Space was tight and getting the pump into the bottle without spilling really took care. Earlier in this tread, someone posted that they filled with a decent length of tubing going from the top of the engine compartment with a funnel. I think this is the way to go. I would do it this way next time, instead of fumbling with tippy bottles in a cramped space under the car.
- It took a total of 1.7liters of fluid to reach the fill hole.
- I didn't see any measurements on the filler plug width for finding compatible tubing, so attached an image.
