Question Instructions on replacing Transmission Fluid

Hi, I'm rather a newbie when it comes to auto mechanics and stuff. But I was wondering if somebody out there had links to a good instructions for changing the transmission fluid on a WRX.

My car only has 7000 miles on it, but I was hoping that doing this fluid change would help smooth out the shifty, since it's still quite notchy.

Thanks for your help!

For the manual tranny, by the turbo in the back is the tranny dipstick. Pull it up so it doesn't make a seal. On the bottom of the tranny there's a huge 21mm bolt. Pop that off and the fluid comes pouring out. Clean the bolt off of metal shavings, screw it back in. You have to pour the new gear oil in through the tranny dipstick tube. Get a funnel with a tube and pour in 3.8 quarts. Check with the dispstick to make sure. That's pretty much it.


edit: It's a 21mm bolt, not a 22!
