What says that? Guess it doesn't matter because common sense would tell you otherwise. Their are seperate fill and drail holes. The SHO doesn't even have a drain hole. You have to have it syphoned out or drill a hole like I did in the bottom and insert a brass plug.
Why is common sense so uncommon?
I admit I made a mistake. I got it from various sources that this MTX did not ever need a fluid replacement. Worse, I believed them, just like I believed at one time that the engine didn't need a tune-up until 100,000 miles.
Also, since I wasn't "modding" my tranny or doing a bunch of cutting edge experiments, I didn't pay much attention to the transaxle forum.
Anyway, as long as I'm in this situation, I might as well get and share some useful info.
