Hey guys,
I am getting ready to do a transmission fluid exchange since my fluid just recently turned from light red to dark red/brown color which is do for a immediate change. Also notice my TC has very subtle shudder in (D)rive at idle so I know it is time. I went with the good stuff Amsoil OE ATF that exceeds the mecron V requirements and a WIX filter. I've been reading online and watching videos and the fluid swap is fairly simple by draining the TC and dropping the pan but how do you get the old fluid out the transmission lines properly? Do you unbolt the return line going into the transmission and let it drain in a bucket? I am unsure about this step.

Also I am half tempted to save and buy a deeper pan if I am feeling it haha. Let me know your thoughts guys. :thumbsup:
