should be a bolt on the bottom right of your tranny (if you look at the car from the front). it's a 3/8th ratchet driver, that's all you need.

well your not actually bleeding it, can't really bleed your tranny. If you take that bolt off your basicly draining it. if you want to add more TF into your tranny, take your speed-o sensor out and add TF thru there. It takes 2 1/2 qrts to fill the tranny if fully drained.

The new fluid sucks too! My '06 Type S came with it already from the factory and I didn't even realize this. I replaced the fluid with the new MTF fluid because from day one it was hard to get into 3rd when cold and even sometimes when it was warmed up properly. Every once in awhile it would pop out of 3rd gear also. So I canged the fluid and the problem persisted. Then I was looking for something in the manual and noticed that the fluid they recommended was the new fluid that I just put in. If I had known this I would have just gone with what I know works. GM Syncromesh Friction Modified is the best manual tranny fluid I have found. I have used it in a few previous vehicles and it as always impressed me. Who'd have thought GM would have a decent product.
