Finally came around to flushing out the ancient transmission oil and changing the filter. A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE! Like night and day...Shifts are smooth as ice and my shuddering went away. Plus car puls like a freight train. I paid for parts....OEM filter,gasket From OEMBIMMERPARTS.COM $65.00 12 Quarts of Valvoline VV324 MAXLIFE DEXRONIII/MERCON ATF...$80 Took it to a local Lee-Myles Charged me $65 Cash...$210 Not bad

Pictures: Could not get great pics because shop owner did not want me under the car...fine.

I must be super lucky cause underneath my car I have no corrosion.

I think I need to do this as well... and change the input shaft gasket to the tranny.

All my worries have went away! just have to do a brake & rotor job and some tints & new wheels.

Hey thats beautiful, this was a NY/NJ vehicle, rough roads.

I'm telling you so much better now, hopefully my gas mileage will get better.

I replaced all filters and plugs & oil recently. I haven't really driven this car good, because of my job and the problem with the transmission, I bought the car in June and to this day I only put 500 miles on it.

I need to take a cruise with this beast. Just haven't had time.
