Drain old fluid (there's a plug - something I wish was mandated on automatics). I think the filter's a spin on, too. About the only nice thing about the TAAT. No need to drop any pan or stuff like that. |

>on a 1993 SL2. Bob, There is a drain plug on the bottom of the trans case. Also if you remove the fresh air intake tube that runs across the upper radiator, the spin-on filter can be changed very easy. Be sure to have a pan under it. Personally when I am done draining everything, I put all the fluid in a bucket with measuring marks. Add that same amount of fluid back in, then drive and be sure the level is proper after trans is at operating temp. I usually buy my filter at Saturn, even though it is a Saturn brand with Fram name on it in small print. Fram #P6646 Saturn #21003298 James |

Thanks for clearing that up for me. When I bought the L series, a mechanic
friend (not yet familiar with L series) said, "that's great, they have an external transmission filter and a drain plug." I went looking for such when I did the first engine oil change and could not find them. So, it seems that on the L series (not what the OP has asked about) one has to drop the pan to drain and change the filter. They SHOULD mandate at least a drain on ATs...
