Drop down table, holds my grill and such very well.

 

Decorated for Christmas

 

Same.

 

I like the duct tape mod

 

I offered a bumper for the low price of a bottle of bourbon.

 

Ive Been dealing with trans issues and let's just say in the grand scheme of things.... the duct tape is just fine for now.

 

I saw you were doing drain and fills. What's going on with the trans?

 

Long story short... what I thought was a rear main leak was actually a trans leak. Coming out of the converter seal I suspect. But the trans fluid was black and had the consistency of water. I found all this out after I started feeling shudder under lockup.

Been doing drain and fills regularly and the shutter is much better. But im afraid the damage has already been done. Fairly certain the fluid was original and with 250k on the clock, it's not surprising that a shudder developed.

I'm hoping the drain and fills buy me some time.

 

I bought mine at around 200k, no indication the trans had ever been serviced. Occasionally, the car would just completely lose power then reengage. Other times around 45mph, I would get shuddering. Like I was driving over rumble strips. So far, I've only done the drain and refill once but those issues are basically gone. Still want to do a few more though.

 

I'd say it's been resolved 90% or so. I'm gonna keep up the drain and fills until I'm satisfied. I've done 4 so far. 3-3.5q each time and It wasn't until the last one that I go anything that resembled trans fluid coming out of the check plug when checking level.

I had never seen trans fluid look as bad as the junk that came out of this thing. Black water would be the most accurate description.

 

bring it over and we’ll do a proper flush

 

Mod day @SearArtist house! Fire up the smoker

 

At 250k, the word "flush" makes me nervous.

 

It’s easier than drain fills and contrary to popular belief swapping the fluid isn’t going to accelerate the trans going bad.

You could always just swap out 6-9 quarts and see how it does. If the trans or TC is bad, it’s bad. No getting around that.

 

yeah come over and help me get this heavy ass ceramic cooker lifted up on my back deck.

 

Same. I'd rather do several drain and refills than power flushes.

 

Bunch of sissies

 

Quick door lock actuators replacement, total cost was about 40 bucks vs the 267 employee price!

 

Doing another drain and fill today. Decided to pop the intake tube off and take a look at the TB.... yea don't think it have ever been cleaned before. Ended up taking the TB off the intake manifold, short of that and I would have never been able to get it all.
