The manual goes on to say check the trans at 40 degrees Celsius and if no fluid comes out follow the fill procedure, so I did and it took almost another 4 liters before it drained. My car now shifts smoother than it ever has.
ok so u measured the temp of the fluid somehow? if so, i may need to do the same and some the remaining 3.5 quarts i have left....

when u shifted through the gears does it stay in them for very long...for me it was only a few seconds then defaulted back to gear 2. did this happen to u?
