Try posting this question in the regular Mazda 3 forums...this is the Speed 3 forums, and they only come with a manual tranny. I hope nobody is putting ATF fluid in their MS3 gearbox!

bite your tounge sir! Just because there are tons of ms3 people joining up here lately doesnt mean we care any less about our m3 bretheren!

as for the AT filter change... have you flushed the fluid out of it yet? At 44k miles I wouldnt be trying to change the filter unless the fluid comes out extremely dirty (aka current filter is not doing its job)
