it should leak out after u pour all the 2 quarts in since it only holds 1.9 quarts. then it will level off on its own. when it stops leaking out u can put the filler bolt back on
u will notice a lot smoother shifting too.

Make sure the car is on a flat surface. I just pulled my car to the end of my garage where it drops down a little bit. This level surface is needed for proper drainage and filling.

Just picked up password magnetic drain plugs. For the tranny, which hole do I put the plug into? The filler or the drain?

If you got the magnetic drain plug, you put it in the drain plug hole. Im not sure what you mean by "where do u put it"

didn't know if it mattered that my new plug looks like the fill plug and not the original drain plug.

the first picture that i had posted is all i did, i just pulled it up to the end of my garage that barely drops off on that edge. i think u can get at it fine by just having it level on any ground without any dropoff. it might b a little difficult but not too hard at all

What type of additive did u get? it should say on the bottle what you need to do but from what i see, u change the transmission fluid out and add it to the new fluid
