Transmission fluid actually didn't look half bad for 17 years and 125K miles. Definitely dirty. If I keep the car, I'll probably do another flush in 5-10K miles since I drained it with the car not level.
Couple of bolts on the transaxle oil pan are hidden by the subframe and it's a tedious process getting them started. It's getting hot out there, so time for a water break and some work emails before getting back to it.
Oh and the bolts weren't torqued down excessively. They just had gobs of loctite on them
