The intent just to have a quick place to go for people (mainly myself) that may already be familiar with job and don't want to wade through longer step-by-step instructions again to extract details. ![]() For a $100 or less that's sure as Hell beats crawling under the Montero to play the old "Drain and Add" method you are considering.Wanted to start a DIY quick reference to include things like torque specs, part #'s, specialty tools and quick tips for the standard maintenance items. Typically less than a $100 for the fluid and the service. If you insist on only a transmission fluid change many of the quicky oil change facilities will have a transmission fluid change machine that will completely change the fluid in your automatic transmission in 1 easy operation. Drive it until breaks and then rebuild it or sell the Montero before that situation occurs as changing the fluid just might put that automatic transmission in an early grave! If the fluid "Smells" badly burnt or is a nice shade of poop brown I would not change the fluid. I would also drop the pan and change the filter. If your current transmission fluid does not "Smell" badly burnt and still has some of the original "Red" color I would change the fluid. Would "I" change the automatic transmission fluid? That would depend upon how badly "Burnt" the current transmission fluid "Smells". That fresh fluid change CAN lead to a quick automatic transmission failure. Just remember that "Fresh" transmission fluid will have lot's of "Fresh" detergent additives that will wash off all that sludge buildup from the plates and other components in your high mileage automatic transmission that have built up from years of operation. Doesn't NOT dropping the "Pan" and NOT changing the automatic transmission filter kinda defeat the purpose of a transmission fluid change? I am "Assuming" that the Montero does have a serviceable filter within the automatic transmission.
