Now that's a busted siren module. You will keep having that Alarm message but it goes off after a few minuted driving.

THis is a rather good video about how to flush. With the mentions that 1. he doesn't use the right fluid, should be the type 3309 for the 5 speed transmissions, 2. there is no real need to first drop the pan, you can replace either all the fluid at once or just a part of it by the radiator hose. htt...

You will find it quite hard to remove a pintle cap... as mentioned, these break and drop at the bottom of the manifold quite often

The first step would be to find a knowledgeable garage. a search on local.google.com can show local garages with customer review. The reason I'm saying this, is an axle must be inspected before getting replaced. There must be a lot of play in the CV to cause vibration under acceleration. A decent me...
