Not as bad of a repair job as I expected. Thank you for sharing. I am always curious how the manufacturers allotted repair times compare to actual time required for a fiddly repair like this.
Excellent video. Also good job with the screw, some technicians are lazy, and just replace the screw. At the end the customer will return because rattling noise after the repair.👍👍👍👍
@TavosMr thanks for the comment. I have made that mistake before. It is better to find it now than pay for it later, trying to find the crevice that the bolt fell into.
Off the top of my head, I don't remember any recommendations on transmission fluid for the skyactive transmission. I think Mazda says 100,000 miles. At the dealer, we recommend every 60,000 miles. Make sure you use only Mazda FZ transmission fluid on the skyactive transmission. There is a plug on the pan that you can drain the fluid. Remove the 10mm bolt to pull the dipstick out and fill with about 4 quarts of FZ fluid. Start the engine and let the transmission reach operating temp. Shift to reverse and drive a couple of times and check the fluid level with the engine running.

How many hours did this take? You were pretty neat about it. I hate to get my car back dirty.
@DBLG65 Honestly, with filming, it took about 4 hours altogether.
