I'm hoping but where its been worked on at it'll be hard to get it to the main road (has basically rained non stop this week here in wv) making the drive way a mud pit from hell.

Might as well give it a shot. If I can get it to work I'll certainly change filter out within 1k miles to finish getting the junk out. Still amazes me how dumb someone could be to not install a transmission filter, granted we should've checked before getting the car off the lot but that's not a normal thing to check.
