Thanks, I was thinking of going syn.fluid. Is there anything that comparable
with Dexron 2 ?

Use Mobil 1 synthetic ATF.
Anticipating problems others report, here are your answers:
"Daisy chain" two combination wrenches together to remove the fill
plug.
Should make this process simple, but since some have had difficulty,
make sure you can removee the fill plug prior to draining.
You need to lift the car to get access. You should lift front and rear
to keep it level. Use jack stands at the sub frame in front, and under
a block of wood at the jacking points in the rear to distribute the
load. Lift at the center of the front and rear sub frames.
My recommendation is to always use fresh factory gaskets.
You need a 10mm Allen head socket wrench for the drain plug.
A funnel and a length of 1/2" hose makes the fill process easier as
you can then fill from above in the engine compartment.
