Any add ons that should be considered?This project I might give to my Indie Mechanic and take pics during the freshening up , a list for his approval, an advisory overview for those willing to tackle this as DIY thena follow chart with dos and donts.The real issue after all is that these trannies are subject to vacuum controlled functions and over time they will need to be addressed .The purpose Im suggesting is a quick look at the whole subject of trannie performance and the items to gain its orig. ability .
