I just got my Motul gear 300 gear lub and i'm wondering wha i need to do before changing the tranny fluid? Do I need to warm it up? Did you guys jack up your cars? Is there a washer between the drain nut? I've never change the tranny fluid so im a newbie. Also my car is a 2004 STi.
Thanks for any replies

go for a drive and warm the oil up, let it cool down a little bit so that you dont burn yourself with the hot oil. (you can do it when oil is cold but its easier when its warm)
jack your car up on a stand
find transmission
there is a drain bolt under the transmission.
drain oil
there is a washer on the bolt. replace it with new washer and tighten the bolt again
find a dipstick for transmission. its around the turbo on passenger side. Becareful not to touch the heatshild of the turbo is its hot.
use funnel and put oil from the dipstick.
