Thanks Craig, that would explain why it didn't seem to do anything.

I took the car into my mechanic, good guy with lots of experience, to have the squeeking in the front end checked out. He just called me with the bad news. Two ball joints, a tie rod, and lots of rubber parts rotted out. Parts, labor and front end alignment $880. I told him to go ahead, I need this car to be safe at least. it can piss oil all it wants, as long as it is safe. Good news was that the shocks, springs and rear end were all good. He was also impressed with the cars lack of rust.

So does any one know how hard it is to change out transmission fluid? Does it have a filter also?

I saw a thread before where some one had listed 5 things to check/maintain on these cars, but now I can't find it. Any one know what I'm talking about?
