Really appreciate the guide. Did this and the fuel filter yesterday. Would be a cinch with a good lift but ramps and whatnot work too - just rather uncomfortable working under there for hours (I took my time). I used a 14mm hex drive with a 14mm ratcheting wrench - I used a bit of tape to keep the hex in place and it worked pretty well. Got about 500mm of old fluid out with the pneumatic suction thing. Also did the adaptation with ISTA+ - I could hear the stuff moving around in the TC while this process completed - 0.2 change. I haven't notice any difference so far with the new fluid and that's probably good (changing the fluid before it's a problem, seems like the best wisdom) but it's good to have it changed out. Transmission is next, just waiting for the parts. Then perhaps the front and rear diffs. Gotta keep this awesome car happy so it keeps me happy!
