1. Raise the passenger side of the car (supporting the car on good jack
stands) and crawl towards the transmission with a toolkit. 
2. Loosen the fill plug (either 17mm nut or XXmm hex bit).
3. Remove the drain plug (same tool/size as above) and catch the 1-1.2
quarts of old fluid into a container.
4. Re-install the drain plug and pump 1 quart of new RedLine D4ATF with a $4
auto store manual pump into the tranny. 
5. Check the fluid level (it should be level with the fill plug). If you
need to add more - do so. Otherwise, re-install the fill plug and torque to
spec.
6. Go home and wash the dirt off your face.

have fun,
