I would like to know too. I wanted to change my tranny fluid to either Redline ATF or B&M trickshift ATF.

(VTEC)TL, have you heard of anyone usint B&M Trickshift or Redline? When I changed to Redline synthetic in my 4Runner (5 spd trans, rearend and transfer case), I could notice the difference immediately. Felt smoother overall. But I have yet to hear of anyone using the ATF.

You can't change it like draining engine oil; you need a special machine to suck all the old fluid out. Just draining will leave about a quarter of the old goop in the pan and tubes and filter.

Spend fifty bucks and go to a drive-in lube shop and do the job right, or spend a few grand and buy the machine - we'll all be impressed!
