there is a 'check' plug on your trans, u can open the check plug (its like.. a big bolt in the side of the trans that)
u technically can open it up, and just fill the trans till it starts to come out the check plug..

(there is a drain, and also a check plug.. drain is for draining fluid.. check plug is above it and is to see if the level is up to the check plug.. if its at the check plug then its full, and shouldnt just drip out, u should be able o stick ur fingure in there and feel the fluid level is at the base of the plug.)

I was told to use two and a half bottles but that could be wrong.

No, no, no, they are referencing to our tranmission fluid what type of oil we need. I went with Royal Purple because I don't believe that my trans fluid has ever been changed.

But it's weird when it's below freezing up here my car will grind into gear until it is fully warmed up and than it runs perfectly fine. Never really understood why.

That's due to the fluid being very thick in the cold temperature and not lubricating the gearing enough until it's warmed up. Same thing happens to me every winter in Chicago.

Man I wish I lived down south but I also heard that it's nice in the winter because cold air entering the engine. But ya I just hate it because any type of grinding is not good. I am going to start warming up my car just a little longer.

No problems having it so far

One bottle?? Wow I was told to put in 2.5 of the bottles. So I guess I was ripped off 2 bottles that were $12 a piece
