[CL9]&[CU2] You got Automatic transmission? *you'll WANT to read this*

[jono_l]

guys u got any info on doing the actual changing of the auto trans fluid?

Pretty straight forward - on CL9, jack both sides up, and remove the cover that sits under the engine bay (undo clips and screws). Probably the best time to get a breaker bar to crack the drain bolt loose as well, as clearance is limited once you lower the car. Drain bolt is 3/8" square drive.

Lower the car back onto the ground / level surface, and drain out old ATF. Refill via dipstick hole using funnel - approx 3 quarts or 2.8L. Check levels via dipstick.

So you are only dropping the oil that is in the tranny pan, what about the oil in the torque converter? Looking at the specs the tranny holds 6.2 litres of trans fluid.

You might need to do a few fluid flushes to get all 6.2 litres out and replace with new fluid.

You need 4+ flushes to get 90% new fluid.

2 flushes will get you 60odd percent, I'd do 2x flushes per service over 2 services.
