I guess it'll make more sense as I do it, it just seems weird that I'm filling the tranny from the bottom... seems upside down. :-)

the CVT fluid should come in a 1ltr container which has a long tube in the cap but some don't so you need a container to pump the fluid in ( ATF fluid containers generally have this feature ) and worth hanging onto an used container,

only other way to get it in there is via a long tube with a funnel on it then put the tube into the filler on the tranny and fill till it overflows then its done put the bolt back in and off you go,

the break bleeding system come with directions and its a one man kit you want
You forgot to add that the tranny fluid temp needs to be between 35 and 45`C to be at the correct level when it starts dripping out

Yeah, I knew that from the manual at least. I'm looking everywhere for the fluid though, I can't find it online. I'm still looking, I'll post a link to it if I find it anywhere....

silly i know but the temp is when the engine is running for fluid level checking with engine temp at normal, auto tranny fluid expands under heat where as oil just gets more malleable when the viscosity is right depending on the engine;)

Okay one last thing -- according to the manual the tranny holds 9.0L of fluid, but when you change it you only need 2.7L. That doesn't seem very effective.
