Just did a Transmission fluid change (5.5L used) and changed the filter and pan gasket, it was a pain (so many screws around the pan) but the oil coming out was very black and I'm guessing original to the car (2002 with 250 000km).


The worst part was finding the right oil, had to order it at a pro shop.


The car runs great and the shift seem more "seamless" but I've been driving a smart fortwo for the last 10 days so it might very well be just an illusion.


I've also got the oil for both diffs and the transfer case, that'll be my next project.
I also need to look into the siphon pump but the tank is full and the car not being driven a lot right now so its not ideal.
