I checked the fluid on the dipstick but to be honest, not really sure how to read the amount. I assume one side is for checking warm and one side for cold? anyway...followed the owners manual and it looks like it has plenty. Looks to be the correct cooler (reddish) and does not smell burned. I am not sure the transmission fluid has been changed since 80k and it has 139k now.

At this mileage am i looking at a tranny rebuild or just a fluid and filter change?

If a tranny rebuild what is a good non dealer price and does anyone have a suggestion for the San Diego area. I've been to see the guy up on Reseda and he's great but it's a bit of a drive now...


Thanks guys, you guys are always there for me!


Happy New Years!!!!
