changing A/T gearbox oil

I am thinking of changing the oil.

According to Manual



It says replace gasket I know its good idea to do it but i am not confident so

Question

1. To drain the oil do we have to drop the whole oil pan. Isn't there a drain plug?

2. Where do I top up the oil from?

 

Top up through the dipstick

Check your box, some do actually have a drain-plug... aus delivered maybe, I know some have them.

 

Whoo woo really!! Have to get under that car and see I have a TT import

 

drain plugs are random some have them some dont its the luck of the draw

 

oh damn will find out if i am the lucky winner or not

 

I heard manuals never need auto trans fluid....might be easier just to sell and buy a manual instead

 

You are going to spend $100-$200 on ATF.

You can have professionals do a basic service for $150-$200.

As well as changing the fluid they will check/replace the pickup screen and probably the other small filters.

Other things they can do are check/flush trans cooler at the same time.

Using synthetic is a particularly worthwhile option on an auto trans IMO, it is a 40,000K interval and does give returns, I would check with an AT specialist on which is suitable.

 

$200 on auto tranny fluid? try again? its expensive but not that expensive

 

Synthetic ATF is and more.

A auto shop will service with synthetic for $200 - $250
