Overfilled transmission fluid 5 speed
So I overfilled my transmission fluid on my 2004 wrx, how can I drain some of it out? Is there something I can suck the fluid out with? Any suggestions?

I put in probably almost a quart but I don't even think it needed any.. I was hearing a squeak from a full stop starting in first and I just thought it was the tranny so I added it blindly then checked the dipstick and its too damn full...

the daiso thing might be perfect! and there is a daiso right underneath where I work
I ended up just loosing the transmission fluid draing plug on the bottom of the transmission which was a 21mm on the 02-04 cars if anyone every needs to know in the future.

You can grab a gear oil/transmission pump from any auto parts store, siphon the excess from the dipstick of the transmission. Otherwise you might have open up the drain plug underneath.
