X-Type Fluids - Help!
#21
iownme - thanks for that, do I need to drive the car after each drain/fill? Or just switch it on and then shift the gears in place?
Ive read somewhere in this forum that it took long time, if I can remember it was around 4 hrs reported for replacing the ATF if I am not mistaken. Thats how I got the impression on this.
I will also be searching for bleeding the brakes procedure, as the previous owner did not at all change it in my opinion.
Thanks.

3 times is what many here do.
3 U.S quarts at a time (only 3 qts will drain from the drain hole
its good to drive a few miles inbetween or you can just idle the car makimg sure to move the gear shifter into each gear for a few seconds approx 3 times.
the fill hole is very small ...the smallest funnel i could find barely fitted....its maybe 7mm-ish...i had to file down the outside of the funnel.

@ Iownmw, you need to read my link above on an idea another member gave me for that far away tiny fill hole. It worked great.
@mtypex, I bought 5 gallons just to be safe as this was my first time, and from the results the car's first time, too. The 4th drain and 5th fill was probably a little overkill but, using the "14 second" method, I wanted as much old fluid out as possible. Please follow the instructions in my link, just opening the drain, then putting back in 3 qts as just suggested is not the recommended procedure in this forum. As demonstrated on my drain, you're SUPPOSED to get 3 1/2 quarts on the drain. I did initially but not on all. That's why you drain (I used $1 cheap turkey aluminium roasting pans) capture, measure and replace.

nobody suggested removing 3 qts.
3 qts is what will come out of a correctly filled transmission.....some say 3.5.
one does this process 3 times, removing 9 qts in total and refilling each time with 3 qts totaling 9 qts
or 11.5 in total if ur trans gives you 3.5 when draining.
its a good idea to measure how much comes out as thats a good indicator whether it was correctly filled to start with
5 gallons = 20 qts .....yep...thats overkill..lol
did you get the fuel pump in yet?
