Taking the transmission in and out isn't that big a deal for me. I am waiting to do it until this weekend because Harbor freight is having a sale on good floor jack on Friday and I need to source some junk pieces of wood for engine support anyway.
The plan is to drop the transmission
re seal the front pump install new output shaft seal (not leaking btw) and move it to my proper parking space at minimum. I will look into actually tearing the entire thing apart when I need to cross that bridge or have a bit more time.
apartment life n all
oh and previous fill was half dex VI and half Maxlife. There were no problems at all with DEX VI even in the coldest part of winter or the heat of summer. The transmssion had been up until this point perfectly reliable. I picked up two gallons of some cheap supertech dex III. If everything is ok after a few days of driving I will probably add a bottle of lubeguard red
I replaced the pan gasket and loosened up all the bolts in preparation for removal this weekend.
The only thing that was a bit odd was the o ring on the pickup tube was somewhat swollen and the replacement filter kit did not come with a new one so I used a spare HNBR o ring from my ac repair kit.
The fluid was cherry red and did not smell burnt at all. I did a pan drop drain and fill back in 2013 probably 30k miles ago. Just the normal transmission schmoo nothing chunky in it.
Because I know bitogers I thought I would post some pics lol
The ring you see is from the pan magnet I have attached to the bottom
