Changing Transmission Fluid on 2001 RT/10-A couple of questions...

[smashman]

1st time doing this, so forgive the probably dumb questions......

1. How heavy is the plate that covers the transmission from underneath? (Just want to know what to expect when it comes off)
2. Is there any way to refill the transmission from the top of the car with a funnel/tube, etc..... or is a pump or siphon from underneath the only or best option?


Thanks in advance!

Plate is not heavy. Drain in on passenger side (torque to 28 lb-ft)...fill plug is on driver side (torque to 20 lb-ft). I use a pump to fill...some use spout and strong hands to squeeze containers til empty.

Spout and hands method is not fun, also most likely to make a mess.
