filled for life auto boxes are a joke.  atf get a hell of a lot of stick and degrades.  is service life is longer than the cars warrantee but it dosent least forever.

IMO manual boxes want an oil change at 80K auto boxes more like 60K

This.

I'll get it done...Don't suppose anyone has one of the tools needed to remove the plug I could borrow, I'll pay postage both ways! :smiley:

Just buy one, it'll cost the same by the time you've paid to borrow one.
