2000 XKR Transmission Fluid & Filter Change
Last night was perfect weather and I did a bunch of stuff on my XKR. This was one of those jobs.
I bought:
-Duralast TF178 Transmission Filter $17 at Autozone (LINK)
-2x 4qt Valvoline MaxLife ATF $40 at Autozone (LINK)
-1 722.6 Dipstick, bought a long time ago but about $8 (LINK)
What tools:
-1/4 and 3/8 Drive Ratchets
--5mm Allen socket/key/whatever
--5mm Torx socket/key/whatever
-IR Thermometer (borrowed a Fluke 62 MAX IR Thermometer)
Steps:
This guide is almost dead on:
