I may sound overly cautious...you would too after paying $2500 for a rebuild.

Good luck tho, Trans issues really suck.
Thanks, but i always have oil all over the dipstick when doing that ....

I was very careful with the cleaning. Not perfect i know, but the best i could do ....

Is there a way to read the level when cold???
