using the same oil?

[Jimbob]

Yes, empty both by removing, refit both and fill through level plug, once full top up with engine running, and selecting all gears.
Recheck after a few hundred miles.

  You make it sound easy Jimbob! Thanks for the info fella

its easy enough, but potentially very messy
Worst bit for me was keeping the filler hose off the hot exhaust while swmbo poured fluid down it.

  I like a good old mess!! Adds fun to it  

[Jimbob]

got to do the filling with the car level as well.

To be honest, it easy, just messy and awkward.

Shed load of bolts to undo.
full sumps to empty, i found leaving some bolts partially in so i could 'swill' the old fluid out was a good start.
3 bolts to change the filter if changing.
then the worst bit is cleaning the old gaskets off from under the car, and the sumps, thats the messiest bit.
Then bolt the sumps back on with new gaskets, refill,
start engine and fill some more, select all gears, fill some more, get car level with plug out to drain any excess, refit plug, drive, car up, engine running, refill, car down with engine still running to drop any excess, car up, plug in, job done.

Then recheck after a few hundred miles.

good way to fill is a big syringe, or garden power sprayer filled with atf

Sounds a lot worse than it is.
