What did you do to your coupe today?

Changed my Transmission fluid. Shifts were starting to get notchy going into gear.
I think this is the first time it's ever been changed @ 60k miles.
The fluid came out a dark honey color. But once it was all in the collector, it was pretty dark brown.
I used Red Line MT-85 Fully Synthetic Manual Transmission and Gear Oil. Expensive, but good.
After driving it for a day, much of the notchiness into gears has gone away.
Even though it's a little early, I feel as though it's an overall improvement.

Did you use 3 quarts of the MT-85 or did you need a 4th bottle?

I put 3 in and had no run out whatsoever. I opened the 4th and started pumping in.
After about 2 pumps the fluid started running out.
I pulled out the pump fill hose and waited while the overage flowed out.
After a few minutes the flowing of the overfill subsided. I wiped everything off and capped it up.
Torqued everything down to specs and cleaned the exterior of the transmission.
So in my estimation, it took right around 3 1/4 Quarts of fluid.
You really need to make sure the car is level for this job.
This is the pump I used, from Harbor Freight. Was on sale for $5 dollars.
And of course you'll need a 10MM Hex Bit.
I reused the metal washer.
