i am about to do a trans fluid change as well and noticed that xviper's DIY was gone. i'm not sure if this is against the rules but here's a link to a DIY over at s2kca. if i'm not allowed to link over there just let me know and i'll remove it.
Since you are both about to do the change - How about helping the community out and take some pictures and make some notes.
I'll do the write up if neither of you want to - we just need pictures that we can use explicitly for S2Ki so we don't have this happen again in the future.....again.
I started on the transmission fluid change last weekend. Got this far, with car on ramps. Took a picture from below the driver's door.
Unfortunately, in the cramped quarters under the car my 8" wrench handle wasn't long enough (couldn't be that I'm just too weak ;-). Bolt wouldn't budge ;-) 30 ft-lb over 8 inches is about 45 lb, not counting galvanic fusion. Looks like I need a breaker bar or piece of pipe.
Make sure you have the washer in place before tightening each bolt.

Trans drain and fill bolt sizes?
I could not find the DIY thread on trans fluid change. What are the drain and fill bolt sizes? I can figure out the rest. Thank you for the info.
