Default Manual tranny fluid change

Already did a search that proved fruitless.

Anyone have a DIY for doing the change on a manual box? Have the 03 2.7t with 6-speed. Have a lift and already purchased the fluid just would prefer some previous experience.

Thanks!
Bill

Thanks for the diagram. Where did you get that? I have a siphon, where is the optimal location for the hose to sit? Obviously the lowest point but is there a proper spot already dicated?

Thanks for the reply was losing faith that there was help for people that prefer to do work themsselves to make sure it is done right.

Ok well put the car on the lift and it seems to me that the gearbox does have a drain right on the bottom. It also has what appears to be two access plugs top passenger side of the gearbox.

Nevermind. Just did it myself. Was simple and took next to no time at all. Followed the audiworld forum tech for the A4.

Not the most hands-on group you'll encounter, except for a couple of techs and one or two souls that chime in from time to time.
