Got that task done today. Was a little easier than I thought, but a hell of a lot messier. Still, there are now ALMOST 3 quarts of Redline MT-90 goodness in the MTX, and she shifts SMOOTH. Noticeable difference.
That said, the old fluid actually looked pretty good. I think it might have been changed somewhere along the way.

Yep, definitely shifts smoother now. But that could just be because the old fluid was...well...old.

How did you approach your change? I think I recall reading two different methods. One using a funnel with a long hose, and another.

I use a pump to fill the tranny.

I'm a slacker...still need to do this.
edit:
Not a very difficult task. It would have been a little more awkward with te car only on jackstands, but not difficult still. I changed mine at 75k. The 2-3 shifts now have no clunk to them. I also used the Redline MT90. Thanks to Huzer, I only needed to buy 1 qt. Need to get one of my own pumps though. Seems like a good thing to do more often (every 30 k perhaps).
