Default I want to change my tranny fluid.....

Tried a search, I guess I'm semi retarded. My R is @ 31,xxx miles.
As far as I know, the tranny has never been flushed (got it in June with 27,100 miles). Any tips on install? Pics of anything. I'm trying to learn how to perform simple odds and ends of the tuning spectrum, instead of watching my friends do it for me.
Also what would be the best fluid to run.
2nd and 3rd are starting to get a lil too notchy for my taste!

thanks ---> OPIE

if you dont have a hose/funnel like willard suggests, you can do it the we todd way by filling your mouth with the MTF, and then spitting it into the fill hole

Looking under the car from the passenger front wheel, look on the lower side of the tranny facing you, drain bolt can be removed with 1/2 inch rachet with no attachment.... Fill Bolt is above it and is 17mm...... make sure to use new crush washers on both!

I would suggest using a 17mm wrench for the fill bolt, not much room to move up there..... Breaker bar depending on what "animal" trq'ed that bad boy back on last time. But wait your has never been done so should be ok!
