Automatic transmission fluid change....help me make a diy

I then looked for the at/fluid return line from the radiator. I read that you can drain it here and it should drain an additional 5 quarts. The fluid should be dirty b/c the fresh fluid that you just replaced gets pumped to the rad to get cooled.
I read that it will drain slow but that's not what I found out. It dumped it on my floor again it's good to have someone help you here so one can replace the fluid as one collects on the bottom.
f^$@#@ THIS **** IS GETTING OLD
according to the manual the rear bolt should be the return from the rad. I traced it back to the radiator and it should be the upper line. Just unhook the clamp and slide the tube off. This is where I drained it. I m not sure why it all poured out so fast. the fluid that came out of here were very dirty so I assume that this is the correct line. If I had unhooked the AT/fluid line that goes to the rad the fluid should be cleaner b/c I had just replaced 5 qts in the pan.
another pic of the line. in this picture it's the top hose. this is under the car on the driver side where the rad is.
I replaced one quart at a time. I drained one, filled one, drained one, filled one till the fluid looked clean. I reconnected the line and started the car. I let it idle 5-10 mins and checked the level. I also checked for leaks at the bolt and at the return line. the 19mm hex drain bolt gets torqued down. I believe it was 25 foot /lbs. I will have to look this up.
F#$%W@ it's late. I have to go to work early. hope this will help. just be careful and take your time. it's takes longer to wipe the **** off the floor later. if you have questions i will try my best to answer them. night

This is a guide, not a diy. I need the forums' help. I want to make sure I don't give misinformation. This is how I did it and will continue to do it this way until I learn a better way.

transfer case..... U will need 1.25 Nissan Matic D atf.
fill plug. it is located by the cats. meow :P
I used a 10mm hex on the fill and the 1/2 inch drive fit perfect on the drain plug.
No I fap too much jokes here. The plugs getting a wash in the parts washer. The fill plug has a washer, not a crush one, so I reused it. You have to use rtv silicone here on the drain plug.
front differential by the oil filter. Make sure you undo the fill bolt before the drain bolt. I had trouble with the fill bolt.
It takes .65 liters of your choice. of fluid here.
there you go. hope this helps. I will post of the torques on the bolts later on.

Matic S ------ I wound up using 9 quarts but should have used more. My fluids were changed not too long ago at the stealership.
[/QUOTE]
are there other types of Trans fluid for G35 other than Matic S ? I"am planning to do my sisters trans oil how many quarts are needed to change the fluid? I called infiniti and they said I only need 6 quarts but from what I read from your post you used 9 quarts.
