Hi,

Looks like my daughter's Tib will need the auto replaced soon. Wondering if there's a decent manual or maybe a photo tutorial online describing what's involved.

Fluid is light brown, smells a little burnt, and there are scraping noises coming from the trans. She reports loss of power going uphill. About 80k on the clock.

This doesn't sound like a situation that a fluid and filter will resolve, does it?

Thanks . . .
