I am going to be installing my MGW next weekend and figured I would change the trans fluid while I am doing it. But if the car is on ramps will the fluid completely drain? I don't have a jack (except the crappy emergency one to change a tire) so jacking it up then lowering to drain then jacking it up to put the plug back in isn't a very good option. So will it drain while up on ramps? I asked this in talk about a week ago and didn't get an answer.

Also is Mobil 1 ATF about the best thing to use in the tranny? How much does the T-45 take? Thanks guys!

Synthetic fluid is great but it seems like my TR 3650 doesnt like Mobil 1. The shifts are still a bit notchy and sometimes grinds a little bit. Next fluid change I'm gonna give the non-synthetic MERCON III/DEXRON a try.

How about the ramp thing? Will it drain on them?

Yes it'll drain. I drained mine on an inclined driveway with jackstands up front, so you should be fine with ramps.
