1. 3 quarts of Redline MT-LV (only needing ~2.5 of it)
2. 24 mm or 15/16” socket or wrench (the size are equivalent) for both drain and fill
3. A funnel with a tube attached to the end of it
4. A drain pan
5. A socket extender (optional)
Procedure:
1. Remove your car’s battery.
2. Jack both front sides of your car up & support it with jack stands.
3. Go under with a 24 (15/16“) mm socket or wrench & unbolt the transmission drain plug with the drain pan ready to go. Be careful not to lose the washer that comes with the bolt.
4. After draining, go ahead and unbolt the fill plug. Be careful not to lose the washer that comes with the bolt.
5. Bolt back the drain plug & lower your car back down so that your car is leveled.
6. Stick the tube part of your makeshift funnel into the fillhole.
6. Fill your transmission til you start seeing drips from the fillhole which is going to be around 2.5 quarts.
7. Bolt the fill plug back on either from the top with a socket extender attachment or jack your car up high enough to go under; then bolt up your battery.

Thanks for making a proper DIY for this with the proper fluid <3
I didn't remove the battery when I did mine though, there was enough room to route my fill hose around it (in that big gap between the motor and battery).
Another thing to add is to check to make sure the fill bolt loosens before draining the fluid. Nothing worse than draining out all your fluid and realizing you are unable to fill the trans back up.
