Tranny will feel alot better. It's good to change every 15k, since you're not draining all of it. There is still fluid in the gears and other lines. Our tranny is very delicate.

When I did mine, it took about 3 quarts. Get an extra just in case. When you measure the final fluid level, it should be near the top full line on the stick AFTER the car is warmed up and running.
