Any sage advice when changing MT gear oil ? ( 5 speed Audi 01 Tranny; 986)?
I read you need the tamper-resistant triple square; and that one should / must remove the diagonal brace to gain access to the fill/drain plugs.

Any advice re:

1. general procedure
2. not affecting alignment when removing diagonal brace
3. other?

I'm changing at ~50k mostly due to the hgih number of track days.

TIA,

Grant
