I used a oil suction pump to pull out what was in it (tempo brand that I use to do oil changes on my boat) and bought a pump to put on quart containers to fill it (type you would use to fill an outdrive on a boat) yes I have been in and out of the boat business lol , no jack , no stands while at my camp last summer just parked at a spot on my hill that gave my skinny **** enough room to squeeze under there and do it. T56 says dex 3 only on a tag right on the trans BTW so that's what I used.

Just received 4qts of Redline D4 ATF. Anyone use this in there T-56? It states it's a replacement for dex II & III. It's also a GL-4 and can be used in T-5, T-45, T-56.

Pre-2001 transmissions have paper blocker rings and are not rated for synthetic fluid.

Just did my transmission fluid change today.
Super easy with the right tools. Just had to buy a hand pump at autozone for $9 and did the job by the refill plug underneath the car.
Fill her up until it overflows, should be around 4 quarts. Personally, I went for the autozone brand dexron 3.
After I did the job, went for a ride and already shifts so much better !
