^^ what he said.

And if you REALLY can't put forth the effort to do that, take it to a dealership and pay to have it done for you.

service manual ftw. jackstands or a ramp, 17mm socket iirc, fluid, drain it all, pump back in with a pump, or squeeze the bottle in with the help of a hose. p.s. buy a new washer dont flip it each time. they're like 10 cents.

you can get a pump at like autozone or your local auto parts store, or duct tape hose to the bottle and squeeze. here's the DIY http://www.s2ki.com/forums/ind...83577

Aren't you just supposed to fill the tranny and diff until the fluid comes out the fill hole? Shouldn't it be level?

PS.
My 2001 has fewer miles, but I'm going to be the first owner to actually drive it so that'll change soon.
