I noticed a shudder from transmission while driving it for a short distance. Didn't do it last time I drove it. I checked spark plugs wells to make sure there is no oil as I have seen that on previous vehicles where it causes a feeling of a misfire, but they are dry. These plugs look okay I guess, don't they?
How do I change the fluid on this vehicle listed above?

The oil around the spark plugs can be normal, as long as the oil is not inside the spark plug, these plugs look okay, just worn out. Here is how you change the transmission fluid as requested. You drain the fluid out and pump it back in through the drain plug. Please go over this guide to help understand what I am talking about and check out the images below to see how the job is done on our car.
