check out how the fan has cut into the coolant hose (doesn't have anything to do with the tranny but I thought it was funny)



check out this milkshake in the bottom of the pan

I stuck a magnet in the juice and I got some stuff on it. There was about and 8th of an inch of thick stuff at the bottom of the pan.

I have a bunch of pictures. I'll post them when my wife gets back with the camera.

hmmm pictures are gone, I posted them using links to my facebook page and it worked previously...weird.

Anyway....going to drain some fluid out today and replace with lucas anti slip. I also bought some TransX stop slip. Any opinions or experience with either?

Thumbs up

is there coolant in the trans oil?
For $1200, I'd like to have it,to park in my driveway.
Fan hitting radiator hose: check engine mounts to be sure engine is not moving around due to failed mounts.
Anything can be fixed. Appearance seems great. Good buy.

I just took the wagon out for a 20mile excursion/tranny test. We put two bottles of Lucas slip stop into a severely slipping/flaring tranny and now it seems to be running fine. some of the shifts are hard, but we were also playing with the modulator. I will need to drive it more to see if I can't pull some use out of it before the rebuild.

From what I could tell, there wasn't any coolant, just normal debris from clutches that have been working for 175k. So we flushed it twice and added trans x tuneup the first time and lucas the 2nd.

Oh....best part

Kent: "do you the wagon honey?"

Bonnie: "Oh yeah, this is so much better than your other mercedes, I think you should keep it"

Guess that decision has been made.
