Re: [DML] Transmission Fluid and Changing Procedure



The short answer is "Yes", you take the old stuff out and put new
stuff in. The long answer is "NO". The automatic uses different fluid
and it has a filter inside. The automatic also has a separate chamber
for the differential which uses gear oil, not trans fluid. The
Workshop Manual explains all this in easy to read details.
