Ok guys I know I got a lot of questions lol, so Ill say sorry ahead of time lol. But to my question, Is a trans flush really hard , or is it like opening the plug in the trans, let it drain, plug it up, refill lol. Or is it more to it? And where is the trans plug located? And whats a recomended trans fluid for a auto 3 speed trans thats a daily driver?
Beware the Rouge Dragon.
There is no drain plug. Its a messy job. You pull your entire tranny pan off, dump out the fluid, Replace the filter, the gasket, and re install.
There is a fill plug somewhere, i dont have a pic of it. Use what ever is recommended in the Manual, Should just be regular tranny fluid.

The fill plug is the red cap on top of the transmission. You need appx 7 quarts of fluid. There is a check plug on the passenger side of the transmission. It looks like a thumb screw but you can get it out with a socket and ratchet. It's a PITA. You have to raise the car up on jack stands, make sure it's level. With the car running, pull the check plug. It should dribble fluid. If it does, put it back in, the fluid is fine. If it runs out any faster than a dribble, let it do that until it slows, then put the plug in. If nothing comes out, put fluid in till it starts to come out the hole. Let it slow to a dribble and put the plug back in. I also shift the tranny through all the gears before pulling the check plug.
As far as changing the fluid, just grab a ratchet, socket and go to town. The filter just pulls out, you may need to loosen and move a support for it once you have the pan down. Can't remember. Also, make sure you clean the hell out of the gasket surfaces. It will leak if it's not perfectly clean.
