For anyone that does this at home, it is much cheaper and more convenient to buy transmission fluid in the 5 gallon bag than per quart. And with the method shown in the video, seems like the intake tube could be connected to the bag and do it all at once.
What, buy the fluid? I got my last bag @ Rock Auto but any parts store should be able to order it. And it is a 6 gallon bag, not 5. By the bag is about half price vs buying quarts retail. And no one store I have found stocks enough transmission fluid of the same brand & type to do a full fluid exchange.
THAT is also awesome (as well as all the cross posts you'd done) because this is about the slickest "how-to" I've seen in a long-time... especially for something that is hard to do, not done right at the local dealer, and critical to longevity.
Does anyone know what size the pan bolts are so when I go to buy longer ones?
The safest way to avoid cross threading is to remove one factory pan bolt and find a nut that fits it, then use the same nut on the new bolt. Be sure to run the nut all the way down both bolts to be double sure. Temporarily removing one bolt from your pan won't cause any leaks and can be replaced with no harm. Torque on the 5R110 is 11 ft lbs.
They are metric, but the new bolts measure about 1 1/4" thread length.
