Lightbulb Transmission Fluid

Hey all, i searched everywhere but could not find anything. Im looking to bleed out and change the transmission fluid on my 2.8l 30v with an automatic transmission. I spoke to the service dept. over at the dealership and they dont recommend it at all, only if a component within the tranny or around it needs to be replaced.

Im only looking to do this because one of my axle seals are broken and leaking in the front, found out while doing an oil change. Thanks for reading, and for replies!

you should probably have it changed at a garage. its an involved process that requires you to hook up your car to a computer and monitor the transmission fluid temperature while your doing the change to make sure you get the right fluid level. its alot more involved then just an oil change, and not something the average person should do in the driveway.
