How to: Changing tranny fluid on 3rd gen? please come in!

[SlingShot]

I've searched and nothing found on how to just change the tranny oil on an auto. I looked under ther car and was wondering if you need an allenb key/ wrench to drain the oil. Am I correct?

yeah u need a allen wrench its right next to the oil drian but to get a full flush i think u better take it in but for the 1/2 flush jus unscrew that bolt drain and put 4 qt of tran fluid hope that helps

or if you want you can take of the whole pan i think it has more than 10 bolts then that way you can replace the filter too and it would drain out a whole lot faster

You have to flush the tranny to change the fluid.
Doing it that way won't change 1/2 the fluid...

There is also a filter that should be changed inside the tranny housing.
