SXGT... I am sorry to say, that you appear to be over your head here

My recommendation is to bring your car to a shoppe and have the items installed. I mean no disrespect, but based on this and some previous posts/threads of yours, this is a very steep learning curve you are on here. You can mess something up and cost yourself a lot of money/trouble in the end

Theres a dipstick labelled Trans fluid in the engine bay. You will need to check.it while the car is running and preferably while its cold.

Ummm no. Why are you worried about draining when you need to be worried about filling.

doing the front soon. is the bottom bolt 21mm or 15/16th ?? Most stuff on this car seems Metric but its an american car, is anything SAE?

ALSO: is pumping them 3- 4 times necessary before install?
