tranny filter change 30k service

[xiaoz]

called the dealer again asking about the tranny filter, they say it'll be replaced under 60k service under normal usage, for 30k only flush the tranny. So seems all depends on how u ride the VX. Anyway, find one dealer's price $530, sounds not bad, but i have to drive an hour, maybe worth it , oh BTW, seems it also varies from state to state, i'm in CA.

The instructions in that "service manual" won't get anywhere near all of the fluid drained. Joe_Black has a good tranny fluid change HOWTO on his website. The procedure is fairly easy, and it's well worth the effort. I switched over to AMSOIL ATF a couple months ago and I couldn't be happier.

Would anyone happen to have some good instructions on how to change the filter?
