[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 497075, member: 4527"] hehe... I almost pull it off as a DIY project but I can't find the lobang to refill.. people ask me how to refill, I told them I intend to use the shampoo bottle to hand pump it in.. :10: Even draining also big project because my normal tong for draining is not big enough.. I might end up staining my entire porch.. glad I change my mind half way through.. end up at a friend's tyre shop and did the replacement. Also when refilling, car must be level because need to fill until spill. If car not lifted up level, the spill will either premature or vise versa. I even brought my own leveling gauge to measure the car's level after hoisted up.. :10: Many workshop don't care. Even the running through the gear procedure after refill and then refill again also many don't follow, not the mention the 50 degree Celsius gearbox temperature. To achieve a level position on the hoist, must use the drive up hoist. Only the tyre shop has this for alignment purposes. Those chassis hoist does not lift the car in a level state. Also please check what gearbox u using and check what's the right fluid. Most workshop bought their ATF in bulk and they will tell u one grade fit all. Which is not true. ZF gearbox has its own ATF fluid. [/QUOTE]
