Yea I did. Pulled the pan and replaced the filter at the same time. I got to the t/c plug by watching thru the hole in the housing while bumping over the engine with the starter. Took a few tries but it finally lined up!! It takes a while for the fluid to drain out of there....

How much fluid did you get out, and how did you measure how much you took out, and get the right amount back in?
