Winnipeg,
:confused: Quick question thinkin of changing my fluid and draining it as well. Is there any certain way to do it or tutorial or is it same way as doing any other car? Also do our cars take any certain type of transmission fluid because i know acura and honda do. ALso does a cold tranny sometimes slows a bit off the line then when it is hot...? I notice when i hit the car took a while for the tranny to quick in , then it got warm and it was better after that....
 
You would change the fluid the same way you would in any other vehicle.

I don't know about the tranny fluid you require, I would refer to the owners manual or FSM.

As far as it needing to be warm to get snappy, may be low fluid, thinned fluid, leaking internal seals, worn front pump, etc..

Start by replacing the fluid and filter and see if it gets better.
 
Any tutorials on how to change fluid on a automatic tranny? I never done it. ALso i don't have the owners manual so i don't know what kind of fluid we take :(
 
I saw the tutorials on vfaqs but it seems like its for manuals. Isn't it the same kinda a concept though?
