R129 Gearbox oil change advice

[Paulwilko111]

Hi, I want to change the gearbox oil on my 5 speed auto year 2000 R129 320 SL.

Is it a case of finding a drain plug and changing the filter after warming the car up for a while ? Or is there a sump ? Any special tips or advice & knowledge of what parts / tools I need , quantity of oil etc ? Thanks.

There is a bit more to it than just draining the ATF and changing the filter. The sump pan has to come off to change the filter,lots of how to threads on here just do a search for them and all will be revealed.
