Is it possible to change the transmission fluid in an 2007 Auto forester just by draining out the sump plug and then refilling to correct level. Bit worried about air bleeding might be required as well
Many thanks John

It does look like you have a modine cooler setup similar to my own so I would go for a flush not a drain as you will get more of the old stuff out.
Easy enough to do but set yourself up before starting.
I needed:
1 bucket
1 piece of clear tube (So you can see colour change) that is long enough to go from the modine return / output connector to the bucket
A tall slim funnel to get to the filler hole in the trans box
Connect the hose and put into the bucket
Have the funnel inserted into the trans box flll point
start engine and after a short while start filling the trans box with new oil - eventually the oil going to the bucket will become clearer
stop engine
top up oil to the appropriate level
hope this helps

Have Just Put one new Bottom Front Ball joint On Front Strut With Great Difficultly. 1st The Bolt Which Holds Main body Of The Joint Into The Housing Would Not Come Out And Eventually Snapped And I Had To Drill It Out. After I Got This Cleared The Joint Refused To Come Out (workshop Manual says just remove it.) I Had To Resort To Brute Force and hammer and chisel to shift it and in the end it Gave up and then it all went back together ok. As I Need To Do The Other Side I Wondered If Anyone Knows A Better Way To Do It. Many thanks John.
