Default Re: Clunk pressing in clutch while in first.

If you can get it far enough up in the air, it is easy to do, the drain and fill plug are different sizes.
I can't remember off the top of my head but something like a 14mm and a 17mm allen.
I just got 2 bolts and nutts out of my drawer and welded the nutts on and used a socket and ratchet.
and a suction gun to pump the oil in.

royal purple synchro max I believe.

oil change shops would most likely not be able to do it, but the next time you have it at a shop that it is on a lift ask them and they would do it.
tire shops, alignment etc.
1st time I did mine, I did myself so I could look at the oil, to see how much shimmer was in it, can tell how previous driving was done.

watch for that double click in 1st gear, and when you notice it to pay attention, so you don't get the 1st gear pop out, it can scare the crap out of you, trans is fine, but sounds violent when it happens.

I have seen people with 240k miles on a clutch and flywheel and have seen less than 60k miles, it all depends on how the person drives and rides the clutch.

these are pricey to change with the dual mass flywheel
