automatic transmission fluid change diy?

i try searching through the forum for a diy auto trans fluid change....after searching for awhile i couldnt find it and gave up . can someone link or provide a diy for a atf change? and what is a 3x3 (i hear that alot in the forum but not sure what it is). Some people also recommend the redline atf fluid over the honda atf z1 -- where do you get the redline fluid from?

thanks.

There is a lot of information in the 3G Service Department formerly known as the 3G Garage. It is a 'sticky' on the main 3G page.

Here is the link from the Service Dept: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/rr-journals-atf-drain-refill-3g-garage-c-012-a-556044/

There are countless threads on Redline and where members can get it.

Kthai417, along from what ggesq posted, a "3X3" means to fill up the transmission fluid reservoir one time, drive for about five miles, empty and drain, fill it up a second time, drive for about five miles, empty and drain, and fill it up a final time. This gets out all of the dirty ATF from the system.
