For guys that did transmission fluid change
#15
I just purchased a "transmission filter kit" from Advance for around $20. It's got a filter and a pan gasket.
My estimation of re using an after market gasket has changed, that thing is thin with no ribs or metal inner lining. I will probably re use the OE gasket.
I did re use the OE gasket. The 2011 had 2 donut magnets on the pan instead of the 1 square magnet on my 2008. I noticed a fair asmount of gray sludge in the pan, comments? The ATF was still "red-ish" after 96,000 miles, but closer to black.
I do notice a difference in shifting, but that may be because I put almost a quart more in than came out. I have added a ATF cooler since I got the car, and seems to have a small leak on the R side axle seal.

Simply put: drain it, refill it.

drain the bottom hole. fill at the top hole. Big arrow toward front of CAR.
