Thank you Jeff,
I can still follow the procedure in Bruno's site even though my Transmission is different?

the page is titled "flush" which should be titled "change" your supposed to only change the filter and only the fluid that comes out with it.
Pardon me. I still dont understand how to check the level. If trans plug is the same as drain plug the fluid will trickle down even if the fuid is low. Also where do I fill the trans oil? I dont see any trans oil cap!

Also how often should I do the trans fluid change this way? Bruno's site recomends this in every oil change.
Thanks,
