DIY: Transmission Oil Change

spearfish25 · 08-25-2009, 01:10 PM

Update: the transmission shifts much more smoothly now when it's cold (70-80F) weather. Once it's warm, it feels about the same. Essentially shifts when cold feel as if the tranny is already warmed up now. Definitely worth the oil change.

Did my fluid swap using your DIY, Thanks and Rep added! Just wanted to agree with the improvement in shifting when cold. Before the change to Redline fluids my first shift into first in the morning was stiff compared to when things warmed up. Not anymore - feels great right from the getgo.

Edit: Shouldn't this DIY be a Sticky alongside Spearfish's otherDIY that is a Sticky for the Diff fluid change? Just a thought.

Thanks, Schrute. Glad the DIYs were helpful.
