Default How much transmission fluid do I need for a 97 1.8TQM? I'm want to change to Redline today but...

I'm not sure how much I need to buy. Additionally, I don't know where to drain and then fill it up either. Can anyone help me out here? This cold weather makes the car a bear to shift for about five minutes.
Thanks,

CP,

It should take about 6 qts. Isn't it listed in your manual? I'm an Audi tech @ Lake Tahoe CA, I haven't had the complaint on any of the newer cars although we have made the switch on many older manuals. Must really be COLD where you are! The drain and fill should be on the left side (drivers) behind and above and below the axcel flange. You will need a special socket a 17mm 12 point with a hole in the center. I recommend you take it someone with the proper tools and experiance to do the job correctly for you and dispose of the old fluid. It's not a big $$ job, the Redline is the most expensive part.
