Yeah, I'm just going to check my level and top off if necessary. If you don't know what's already in there, what's the "safest" fluid to use, to add to the existing mess?
And where's the best place to buy a suitable plug-and-gasket kit?

More importantly, where's the fill location? I think I see a plug up high on the DS of the unit, but I'm not sure I could get my hand in to r/r it.
I changed all fluids in my drivetrain except transmission. I'd like to do this too -- if I can figure out how to refill it!

"Now get cleaned up a bit as you'll be getting in the VX to start the engine and run through the gears. This will help extract as much of the remaining fluid as possible. Start the VX normally and allow to warm up for about a minute or two. Now firmly press the brake and hold it as you go through each selection on the shifter for about 30 seconds each, all the way down and back up again until in PARK. Allow the engine to run for about another minute then shut down. Check underneath the make sure everything is in order and you didn't spray ATF all over the place. Wait about 5 minutes and repeat the above procedure."
We seem to be having a lot of tranny failures lately after a fluid change & I just don't think that running a tranny through all the gears with no fluid in it is a good idea. Thoughts???

So I ordered the gasket, do I just need one? I'm buying the parts and having my service guy do the work. I know there's 2 pans, but are there 2 gaskets? And what's the part number for the filter, where do I get that?
