Welcome. Pics?

[Schmidty]

yes. i parked it for the MN winter up here and am driving my olds again for a the winter. Come spring the tranny fluid and filter will be changed and i have read a few places that the trannys go out around this millage. There is already some signs of that i think. (e.g. occasional rough take off in 1st) but hopefully that is just a senor or the fluid. Pictures will hopefully be up soon. Still trying to figure out how to post bigger pictures.

[DirtDog]

yup. i just changed my tranny fluid and i only had 45000 when i did that. it needed it then to. you should also put the transgo shift kit in while you got the pan dropped. makes a huge difference. just disconnect the battery while you do the shift kit so when you hook it back up it relearns (i guess that the term). i didnt disconnect my battery and at first didnt notice any difference. but i had it disconnected a week later and then i noticed the difference

[Schmidty]

is that kit just a better gasket seal or what benefit does it have? and what is it exactly? just a gasket set or ?

[DirtDog]

No its new springs and spacers for the accumulator. Is makes the shifts quicker and is easier for the tranny. If u order the kit from Triple edge performance it comes with all the gaskets you will need to do it. Its very simple and easy to do.

thank you much! i'll have to look into that and remember when i change it! any other mods you think would be good with out breaking the bank?

[DirtDog]

in a sec ill post a link to how to install the shift kit so you can see how easy it is

[DirtDog]

here is a link to the shift kit you should use

the transgo kit is a little different from the one in that write up but it comes with directions as well and is simple install
