[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1063625751, member: 2429"] Things needed : 1. An atf cooler (new, recon, chopshop, etc). 2. Proper engine grade hoses and clamps. 3. Phillips screwdriver, size 10 nut remover tool.. forgot what these are called. I used a ratchet + extender + size 10 head. 4. Steel bands to hold the cooler in place. First thing I did was drain all the ATF out (as much as possible). In this case this is my Myvi so these instructions are specific for the Myvi. There are 5 plastic clips in the center top, 2 on each wheel well, 8 underside of the front bumper. Then you have to pop out the fog lights and remove the number plate. There are 3 size 10 bolts there, take them all out. Take out the bumper. Be careful with the number plate and clips. All plastic crap is fragile.
