i recently did the gasket/filter on my jeep...was actually quite a simple procedure...

the issue for me with the automatics was how to change the fluid int he torque convertor without the machine which pushes fluid up through the convertor and the cooler...since i had to pull the tranny anyways to swap a seal, wasnt an issue as the TC had to come out anyways...

I need to do the same to my e30(though dont plan to pull the tranny)...i saw a youtube video where one does the filter/gasket and refill the sump, then run the car with one of the cooler connections running to a bucket and filling the sump at the same time, until the clean fluid came out...anyone done this?

do the tiptronics have a torque convertor?
