The instruction manual says Dextron III. But I use Castrol Transmax Z - it's a quite pricey, but I instantly noticed smoother and more precise shifts.

ah ok sweet....yeh i just put in Castrol Transmax Z myself before. yeh its does feel smoother and quicker shifts. I got it from Repco $75! and thats trade price. It's green, i was like wtf? lol

Goes good so im happy with it.

You'll need more than 2 bottles. If you drain the sump you will get only a fraction of the fluid. Ill just copy from my Stagea post:

Changing the atf is not a simple task but you can do it yourself. Dropping the sump on the auto box will only yield around 1 or 2 litres but at least then you can clean the fiter (its steel) and pan and then put it back together. then take off a hose from the transmssion oil cooler and put it in a 2L plastic bottle and run the engine until you have collected a couple of litres. Stop the engine and pour 2L of new atf down the dipstick (for the auto trans ) and repeat til the oil comes out clean. Could take 10 to 12 Litres

ok thanks for that , i just ended up emptying the sump and getting out 2L, got 6L left

if i remove a hose from the transmission cooler and let the car run for a bit would i be able to get about 5L out then empty the sump and re fill ive only got 6L of fluid left

Maybe but to be on the safe side I would still drain 2L then turn it off, put 2 back down the dipstick ...turn it on and drain another 2 replace and drain the last litre and replace.

ok sounds like a good idea, but is there any chance of getting air into the system?

, due to if not i will remove a hose and fill up about 3-4L into a bucket at a time n refill trans at same time

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
