Changing Transmission Fluid, On the GT S54 transmission. Options

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Alright....so I go through the trouble of finding the old post with the Toyota Service Manual and download it so I could see how (or where, really...) to change my transmission fluid. The illustration in the .pdf files shows a Camry or Corolla transmission probably....Definately not the S54, and I just need to know where the drain and fill points are located.

I think I know where they might be, but before I pull any bolts out let me ask any of you guys if you could help me out first. Pics would be handy as well.

I think Art uses Penzoil Synchromesh. I prefer B&M Synthetic Trick Shift ATF myself.

Loosen the fill bolt before the drain bolt. You don't want to drain the oil only to find out that you can't get the fill bolt loose. Mine were very, very tight and both required lots of torque to break them loose.

And I'd use a funnel with a tube duct-taped to it so you can just pour the oil in from the top of your engine bay. I find that to be easier.
