Performed Transmission Pan Service....

[slevy951]

2000 Sport, 98k miles. This past saturday, oil change and tranny pan service. Pan service went very smooth. No hitches. I have a slight 1-2 shift hesitation in the upper RPMs I was trying to correct. Unfortunetly, it's still there after the change.

I didn't see any thread with directions in it all in one place so here are a bunch of links I found. Stick this in the DIY thread, Edwin?

Hope this helps out anyone in the future, saves some search time.

Good job, at least you know it's better for the tranny. :)

Looks much the same as my own at 82k miles:

Yep, exactly what my fluid looked like. Black and watery.

Realize you didn't remove all of the old fluid, only about half. You need to drain and refill a couple of times. Once right I like to change fluid every 15K and change fluid and filter every 30K.
