  1. Fill the transmission with the correct grade of transmission fluid. The manual says put in 5 litres of fluid. I put in about 5.3 litres and the level was still low. You could safely put in 5.5 litres or more. Just be careful not to overfill the transmission.
  2. Reattach the battery cables if you removed the starter motor.
  3. While trying to keep your heart rate down, start the car and allow it to idle for a minute or so to let the fluid pump around the transmission.
  4. Change your clothes (unless you like transmission fluid in your car) and take the car for a drive. Check to make sure the transmission engages the correct gears and everything works as it should.
  5. If all is well, congratulate yourself on a job well done. You now have bragging rights.
