I'd like to replace the right shaft on our 95 Integra Automatic - it
started ticking when you turn a corner so clearly the CV joints are
bad. I'll do the left one as well, but may wait a couple of weeks do do
that.

The repair manual states to drain the transmission fluid - why is this
necessary? Doesn't the half shaft connect to the intermediate shaft?
Don't quite understand why that step would be needed.

Any other tips, gotchas?

Thanks!
