Thread: 04 Comp G trans filter question?

I see, so no pan drop or filter change? I'll let him know

edit:
So it has 194k mi, I was off by a bit, but anyway today it was at 159 degrees when it already started shifting hard...ugh. My dad said that actually when he bought it (in 2016) he had to add some new fluid anyway as apparently it was low. The car was sitting in a backyard for years (I'd say at least since 2010/2011 as it had an expired inspection sticker from then). He said he added about 2-3qts and apparently it ended up being more than what it really needed because after that when checking the dipstick there were air bubbles in the fluid. I think since then we have siphoned out approximately 2qts but I don't recall if that got it to the right level or not...I'll have to check the fluid level/condition again later - and this time I will take a picture or two as well.
