Default ATF WS Transaxle replacement fluid?

Hey guys,

I was going to replace my transaxle fluid on Sunday but I misread one of the large sticky threads and I bought 4qts of the ATF WS fluid. Will this work or should I return them?

This will work perfectly. The repair manual suggests that you replace the aluminum washers on the drain and fill plugs; however if you neglected to purchase the washers, you should be able to reuse the original washers one or two times. Tightening torque is 29 ft.-lb.

Don't forget to remove the fill plug first, before you remove the drain plug.

Good luck.
