Stoners it is. I will have to check that out.
For the transmission, it was pretty easy. Drove around a little to warm up the fluid. Backed the car up on ramps. Removed the engine access panel, which now has lots of quick release bolts! (It's even easier to remove than ever)
Put a mat and pan under the car and removed the lower drain plug as shown in the manual. Let a bunch of tranny fluid drain out... then removed the upper fill plug. This made alot more fluid drain out much faster. Once the transmission was mostly empty... about 10 minutes, replaced the drain plug. To fill, I used Redline MT90, which is formulated for Toyota transmissions. It took almost 2.5 quarts. I have a Snapon hand pump, that sucks fluid out of the bottle and pushes it into the fill hole. Took a while to pump the fluid in. Replaced the fill bolt and went for a ride. Shifting, as I mentioned is nice, and a bit quieter than before!
