If you're wondering on its condition it should be changed. This is probably one of the most neglected things on most cars on the road. Most people NEVER change their tranny fluid, but then complain about grinds!

Past how to change an axle and youll see how to drain and fill.

Your not wasting anyones time, were here to help you. A search propably would have yelded the answers you were looking for but if you dont know what your looking for how can you search?

Good luck with the car, its very easy to do. Use the VSS trick to fill it I use it everytime and it makes it far easier to fill. (The trick is to remove the VSS and the filler plug and poor oil into the VSS hole untill it runs out the fill plug. Its easier then pouring it into the fill hole.)

 

i change my tranny fluid everytime i change my oil...just buy a big thing of 5 quarts of oil and thats just enough for engine and tranny...and while your down there how hard is sticking your ratchet into a bolt and loosening it?...worth the extra 10 minutes of work
