Default Relieved. I re flushed my trans fluid but didnt have to replace the filter

As some of you know, about a year ago (less than 5kmiles mind you) I changed my transmission fluid and couldnt get the filter to seat in the valve body. It took me some time to get the nerve to drive it and even then it was still a rocky ride with the transmission not catching gears as quickly as it should have.


Well when I got my new job I decided to re do it to make sure everything was done correctly, I drained the fluid and trashed it, dropped the pan and saw the filter seated firmly where it should have been. I put my new trans fluid in and am ready to sea foam it tonight.


Fshew.



I did however, see that the high line on my radiator seems to have a leak and I need to check out if its the radiator or the tubing.


Is there a DIY on changing the radiator?

Damn I must have REALLY not done something right last time because the car is running PERFECT now, shifts beautifully.

It was Jedi Mind Magic.


Probably happy to have fresh tranny fluid.
