Thanks!
I assume you already found the DIY for this since you're giving advice to use Shell over Pentosin ATF+1. Correct? If not look under the car you will find a transmission pan which is plastic and there will be a drain hole int he middle with a big allen key hole in the middle.

Thanks.
This place sells the fluid and the pan as a kit at decent prices - around $230, but it looks like they are out of stock again. http://www.thectsc.com/

If you call they might be able to give you availability info.

FYI guys, I got the parts at CTSC for $300 pan/oil/sleeve/bolts

then I went to EMW in Arcadia, CA and the dude charged me $250 for labor

Also I needed a rental so $50


Total cost = $600 for flush/pan replacement/sleeve/bolts
