Default Transmission Flush/Change Questions

Hello, just have a few questions regarding transmission maintenance.

-Whats the best position to drain the transmission fluid? Will having 2 jacks at the front be sufficient to drain the necessary fluid or is it best to have it leveled and go the extra mile to jack the rear as well.

-Same question when filling, is it best leveled or it doesnt matter, the front jacked up is fine?

-Hot or Cold..is it best to have the Trans fluid hot when replacing (like changing motor oil) or it doesnt matter..can it be cold?

I changed my fluid with Redline MT-90 at 35k with just the front jack up, I believe it should be completely drained out that way too. make sure you torque the fill and drain plug back to spec, and remove the top sensor to fill is the best way!!! good luck!!!

My fill bolts got loose and I lost a quart of MT-90 in there, and it's kind of difficult to buy those locally, so I retighten the fill screw and drove my car for about 20k already, finally I just bought a bottle of Mobile 1 Synthetic, 24mm socket and 1 1/16th socket. I just fill it with the 1.7qt MT-90, and with the Clutch stopper mod, boy my car feels more like a new car, I love driving it my car more now...
