I've purchased everything to service my transmission. The pan with the filter, the 4 tubes, the bridge seal, and the electrical connection seal. I also got 8quarts of fluid. My question is, should I be able to do this myself? I'm nervous about the refill, I do feel like I can do everything else. FYI, I did get BMW parts and fluid.

Attention!

To set the correct level, it is mandatory that the service function "Transmission control unit: oil adjustment" is performed using the diagnosis system.

Failure to comply with this requirement will result in serious damage to the automatic transmission!
