I am looking at the service manual I am trying to figure out what the auto transmission drain line looks like. The picture in the manual is a drawing so I can't really figure out where exactly it is. Is it on the driver side or pass side? Anyone got a picture?

got it ... jeez it blends right in lol. on the side note ... WOW what a difference. the car is so smooth now
did you have to get a drain bolt gasket or did you just replace the bolt with the one that was already on it? just asking because i am about to change mine today or tomorrow and wasnt sure if i should just go ahead and get a new one. also should i get the brass or the rubber one?

I've removed my bolt no less than 20-25 times since I've had my car. You should have absolutely no need to replace the bolt gasket. Matter of fact, I just removed my bolt yesterday to drain my fluid out to take my axle out.

Generally it varies, but anywhere from every 30k-60k miles is the average that I've found.

Royal purple, you may never have to change it again.
Based on what?

Nope, not true. Transmission fluid change is not routine maintenance. I have 120K on my transmission with it's original oil and it shifts fine. Premature transmission fluid change can lead to transmission failure.

I talked about the use of other tranny fluids with an ex-senior Mitsu Tech, he advised against it. The fluid Mitsu carries is the only product that is supposed to be used.
I trust him when I have questions like that, hes a fair guy and he has nothing to gain since he doesnt work for Mitsu anymore. I think I have a how-to on some of this stuff, Ill have to drag it up.
