Trans removal, drain fluid?
I may be needing to take my car back to the place where the clutch was done to have a bearing replaced. I'm also planning on changing the trans fluid with Redline, was is raaaaather expensive. Does the trans fluid need to be drained in order to remove the transmission (to get to the clutch)? If so, I'll hold off on the fluid change until after the clutch issue is resolved. I don't want to replace the fluid with expensive Redline and have it drained again in a week or two.

Well I went ahead and put the fluid in, the manual says 2.1 US quarts so I bought 3 redline 1 quart bottles. The manual also says to fill up until the fill hole, but after putting in around 2.3 quarts, the fluid was still going in and not overflowing. I didn't want to overfill it so I stopped then. This happen to anyone else or am I misinterpreting something? This is my first trans fluid change for this car.

You can overfill it, a point i didnt see in here yet is that you need to level the car before you fill the transmission. If the car is level then the fill hole will work as designed, if the car is jacked up on the drivers side you can obviously fit a lot more oil in there than was originally intended.
