Question Have Tranny oil jet recall - how to refill with fresh fluid?

Dumb question, sorry: I have the 2nd gear oil jet recall oil line on my original CL-S transmission. I need to flush 3 quarts of the fluid and refill - watched a YouTube on how to drain the pain but I don't have the 17mm "ATF" bolt visible on the top of the tranny to refill with fresh fluid since I have the recall in place.

So how/where do I refill?

Remove the one small bolt that holds the oil jet in place and pull it straight up. Fill through the original hole. You wont break the oil jet, nor can you re-install it wrong.

This photo should help.



Red arrow shows the bolt that needs to be removed in order to get to the fill hole (red circle).

Removing the battery will give you more room to work with.
