I crawled under there to dump the sump and put a new filter & fresh Mitsu Unicorn Tears in my transmission, a job I've done on other vehicles numerous times -
But on this transmission the pan is partially covered by the crossmember & the dipstick tube is part of the pan.
I am guessing that for the rear pan removal I just support the t-case with a jack (towel in cradle) and remove the trans mount bracket, right?
For the dipstick how's that handled? Does the whole thing just snake down diagonally with the pan or are there retainers/snags/other awful things to deal with?
Tips appreciated!
