It simple to do. I do mine every other oil change. About 8-9K. I've done it twice now. Once after break in and I just did it again last weekend.
You'll need:
Now pay attention. The first time I did it I used a cheap transfer pump from Kragen. Works ok but Blows air with the fluid and you don't want that. This time I got a little funnel with a long tube.
Or you can pay a tranny shop 50-100 bucks to do 20 mins of work.
You'll need:
- 17mm wrench
- 3/8 drive ratchet
- 2 Qrts MTF (of your choice)
- Crush washers for drain and fill plugs
- Loosen lug nut on LF tire.
- Jack up car on left side and crawl under.(take drip pan,wrench and ratchet)
- Loosen Fill plug(do not take it out!! If you do the MTF will come screaming out of there and get on the frame. Trust me it makes a mess)
- Remove drain plug with 3/8 drive ratchet
- Let MTF drain. When it slows down remove the fill plug and it will fully drain not making a mess.
- Put drain plug back in with new crush washer and tighten.

7. Remove tire. (Look behind the Damper and you will see the open fill hole and drain plug)
8. Lower car so it is level. (important so you get enough fluid in there)
9. Insert funnel in fill hole and pour MTF in "SLOWLY". Fill until it starts to drain out of fill hole. (this can be done from the wheel well)
10. Reinstall fill plug and new crush washer and tighten.
11. Put tire Back on. Lower Jack
12. DONE
