RE: IML: Doing a trans tune up by myself

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I read your subject I was expecting a trans rebuild.  I've been wanting 
to do mine, but I'm a little scared.  Changing the filter is messy, but not 
a big deal.  I've done that on the street in Brooklyn. Get a big catch basin 
and funnel to pour the fluid in the dipstick tube.  I'm with Kenyon, jack 
stands over ramps any day and you can't drive the car onto 4 ramps.  Two 
would probably get it high enough, but not level.

I wouldn't bother with the flush.  If you are concerned about the fluid or 
it looks burned I'd just change it again at a really short interval.  Pretty 
sure the 998s didn't have TC drain plugs.  Don't go for a chrome pan.  They 
are way more likely to leak.  The MP pan, 500 pan or aftermarket deep pan 
will allow a little more fluid and provide a drain plug to make the job 
easier, but you need to extend the pick up so the job is a little more.  
I've never used gasket sealer, just a little wheel bearing grease to hold 
the gasket in place.  That's the way I was taught.
