Not the same for a AUTO FWD. You dont need anything else except a oil pan and a funnel of sorts ~ like the one DXS shows here.
All you do is drop the drain bolt , let the fluid flow out. Once it stops , replace the drain bolt and take out the dipstick (on the gearbox). Fill this up with the recommended amount , and test the level with the dipstick gauge.
BTW check my thread below on how to make the filler and fill easy

Great info! Unlike changing engine oil, the transmission oil only needs to be changed every 40000kms if you follow the maintenance schedule or more regularly if you like to take care of your ride.
Dray_Templar, don't forget to use new crush washers! It'll save you having to do the bolt up donkey kong tight and prevent any leaks. On the D-series tranny it's drain plug 39Nm (29lbsft) and 44Nm (33lbsft) on the filler plug if you're anally retentive like me and everything needs to be done up right.
On a completely different note, Dxs, that blue bar underneath your engine connecting your lca mount points together, what is that and what does it do?

Looks like it's a front lower tie bar.
It's for cars with an independant suspension, and helps to strengthen the subframe.
It'll help your handling through corners, as well as reduce torque steer and wheel hop. (In a FWD, anyhow)

nah 40,000km is quiet long.. average is 20,000km but i change mine every 10,000 to keep it in good nick.

Agreed, 40000kms is what interval a grandma would get it changed cos that's what the maintenance manual says, unless the grandma enjoys spirited street driving and track days! Kind of like how regular oil change is scheduled for 7500kms but I dare say most people change it every 5000kms here. No harm done changing it more regularly, for sure.

just a Quick one was told that Mitsubishi's Auto Tranny fluid is 98% the same as honda's, and seems to work as well as honda's , and can be used in a pinch when honda's, isn't easily available. let me know what you guys think
cheers and thanks again ppl
