yeah yeah i know its called grandprixforums.net but my 03 monte carlo ss started having the same problems two weeks ago. last sat i installed the kit and filled it with dex 6. my brother works in a dealership garage and to anyone's disbelief and to my own, they actually let me use a lift and i got the dex 6 for about 3 bucks a quart. it took about an hour to install. it took longer to try and fit the trans cooler i bought in it. its been in the mid 80's around here and my trans is running a lot better then it was. i can't say it is a perfect fix, but who am i to comlain because it only cost around 100 bucks. if you've ever changed a trans filter this is a piece of cake. if you don't want to spend 1300+ to get a new trans and would rather try to fix it for about 100 i would recommend this kit.
