Change your trans fluid...ew

Post by Mikewire »

This weekend I changed my 01V auto Tip transmission filter and fluid and took a few pics while I was in there:

New vs. old fluid:

Clean trans pan & clean magnets and gasket:

Add fluid (about 5 quarts in my case) until the temp is 35 degrees C, and it the fluid overflows and it's done.

Yeah a little bit, I think the TC is a little smoother when it locks up and the shifts are a little quicker and smoother.
