i did mine while installing my MGW short thow, because you can pour it in through the top of the tranny when the shifters off.

ATF will work in our trannies because they need an additive that comes standard in ATF. I used Royal Purple Synchromax.

its easier to drop in the fluid from the top through the shifter, if not you have to pump it back into the tranny. ATF is correct
