Hi folks,

I did a flush for the first time, and I made a few mistakes along the way. I did manage to flush out all the old gunk, and the fluid was a nicer shade of pink by the end. What I had trouble with was getting enough fluid into the dipstick fast enough! I poured as fast as I could, but I ended up being about 2 quarts too low after the flush. Trouble was, the dipstick (with the engine off) told me that it was full... then I started it, put it in gear... and I got the 'tranny-fluid's-low' jerk as I gave it gas. Oops!

Anyway, after two trial-and-error sessions over 5 minutes or so, I got the level OK. Now my fluid is happy and pink, and I feel good about my transmission.

Thanks guys, I couldn't have done this without ya!

Ari
