Oil change yesterday and transmission fluid change today. Dropped the pan and installed a new gasket and filter as well. It wasn’t a hard job, but it was time consuming.
I did run into one issue, one of the threads is stripped, there are 19 bolts so hopefully this won’t cause an issue.
I did check the transmission fluid a few times before purchasing the vehicle and it still had somewhat of a red hue on the dipstick and didn’t smell burnt. Upon draining the fluid it would appear it was in worse shape than the dipstick would suggest.
I drove around for a bit after the change and I can’t say I notice much of a difference. Hopefully we can squeeze a few good years out of her.
Oh, and yes I did clean out the pan and magnet.
