04-06 RA Tans Fluid Change - Helper Pics
Hey everyone-
It was Christmas in May at my house, and I got around to changing my tranny fluid this afternoon. I'd looked for the threads outlining the directions, and the one posted at Evo Motorsports is great:

However, I thought I'd throw up a few pics I took while doing it, maybe help a fellow RA owner out. Use these pictures in conjunction with the directions at the Evo Moto link.
I love this sight as I pull in my driveway...the top box was from Buschur Racing and had 3 qts of BG Synchroshift II.
The fill plug is located on the front side of the transmission and is labelled "Oil". Here, I have the bolt out and some hose I used to fill 'er up:
from above:
The drain plug is on the driver side of the transmission, more toward the back of the car. The pictures on the Evo Moto link above show a magnetic drain plug...from the factory, ours are not magnetic. The 24mm bolt has a rather shallow head. Here's two pics of the drain hole:
closer...
This truly is an easy thing to do. Just be careful; when that drain plug comes off, the old tranny fluid shoots outta there, so get your catch pan ready. After I was all done (including the obligatory I-just-worked-on-my-car cigarette), the BG Synchroshift II felt great...I should have done this 10,000 miles ago
Hope this helps!
