  2. Drain the old transmission fluid into a suitable container.
  3. Replace the transmission filter (if applicable).

• Sub-steps:
  1. Inspect the gear linkage assembly for proper alignment.
  2. If misaligned, adjust the linkage according to the manufacturer’s specifications (refer to service manual).
