Since you were too lazy to search...

What tranny fluid and how much.

To answer your sig question, $3k-$4k.

2 litres for the m2y4 manual; but buy 3 (you will end up spilling some)

And, to answer your sig; $2k. Update On Auto-Manual Swap

I found an easy way to full it. Go to Vatozone and buy the funnel on a flex tube. Take off the intake piping, and feed the flex hose down to the hole, and then fill from the top.

Since you're going to remove the drain plug, might consider replacing it with a magnetic one.

Yeah I used to do that, it would just make it into the hole (that's what she said).

Now I've got a mityvac, works wonders.

yeah, thats nice but how much does that cost? What I did was drill a small hole into the cap that the tranny fluid came in. stuffed a vacum hose into the hole till it hits the bottom leaving at least a foot of slack from the top of the cap. then on the top part of the tranny container I made a small hole by pushing an allen wrench through it. then finally putting in a air needle used to pump up basketball...etc and turned on the air compressor and pumped the fluid. you might need some electice tap to seal the area around the cap but works fine. I still have it. its sitting in my tool box and saved me 15 bucks for the actually vacum thing and I don't know what a flextube is or never heard of vatozone...autozone???? well my contrapsion cost me nothing and I saved 15 bucks that happily made its way toward an 18 pack.

^or you could have spent the $15 and got the actual tool that would work alot better.

The funnel 98auto's talking about was like 2-3 bux when I bought it. I've seen them at the dollar store too.
