>Also, how much is needed?< >I think for a 4 speed MT tranny you'll need to buy 4 quarts. It says either 3.2 or 3.4 in Bentley, I don't recall which (but it also depends on how much you get out initially). I did this a few months ago and it helps a TON to buy one of those little trans-fill pumps for $7 that sit inside the container and allows you to pump it in through a tube....oh...looks like you have the tranny out - even easier, just dump it in, sorry for not reading thoroughly.< You will need 4 quarts, although you won't use too much out of the 4th quart. I can't see how you'd do it without the pump adaptor (as expensive as MT-90 is, I didn't want it all over the driveway) . I bought the 17mm fill plug wrench from NAPA, found it too big to get in there to remove either the drain plug or the fill plug, had to cut about 1 inch off of it and put that in a 17mm box end wrench and it worked like a champ. Another bit of advice I had gotten-make damn sure you can get the fill plug out before removing the drain plug. Bentley does mention a lower fill level, something about hard shifting if filled all the way to the edge. I used the MT-90, and my trans shifts very smoothly now, well worth the money, IMHO. Jeff
