Decided to change my trans fluid today. I have an MR, so it's 6-speed and has the aero lip thing on the undertray. Assumed I'd be fine using this write-up.

I jack the car up on four jack stands at each corner so it's level. I get under the car. Hmmm, awful lot of undertray. But the write-up doesn't mention doing anything to the undertray, so I proceed. I find a 24mm drain plug and 17mm fill plug and get them off. Not too much fluid comes out, and it's rather thick.
Back to evom. Oh, turns out I just drained my transfer case. Run to dealership and pick up DiaQueen. Fill it up (or at least I think I did, because the POS pump I bought at Murray's seemed to pull in more air than fluid each time), put car back down. Trans fluid not changed.
I've seen people here say you can change the trans fluid with the stock undertray in place. Maybe the MR is unique or something, but I really don't see how. And it seems there is no How To for removing the undertray.
Anyone?
