Looks a little brown in the photo but that could just be the photo.

What did it look like before you changed it?

I still think the 1 minute and 13 second TV cable adjustment should be done before anything.

 

Ok, about to do that now. The fluid looks a pinkish red with a tint of light brown. Looked the same before I did the drain and fill. Looked the same since I had her.

 

This^^^^

 

Repair shop can check for bad mounts dont got to transmission shop for that. Might be mount worn causing exhaust bracket to clunk on cross member...passenger side ....

 

Thanks guys, going to repair shop over the weekend for the clunk in reverse issue-yesterday and today she wasn't clunking (???)

Adjusted throttle cable--shifting and downshifting are waaaay smooth! She still lags a little going into first but that's always been the case. Shifting is like butta baby! Just in time for the snow.

Thanks for the vid Duma!

Shout out to all you guys!

 

Duma is the vid-man.

 

 

Now that's clean, must wipe it down everyday. LOL

 

So much misinformation in the first two pages of that thread it made my head hurt...

 

I'm gonna use this one from now on. Home grown.

 

People put too much emphasis on the tv cable. Mine has the end cut off, cable pulled tight, and locked that way with a ferrule.

 

LOL that is how my 96 is.. but I used a zip tie..

 

It's better your way than loose.

 

Update: since adjusting Throttle Cable, all is good. No more clunk in reverse. I plan on getting leaks taken care of. Do I need a tranny shop to handle that? Or can I?

 

I would advise taking it to a regular mechanic for diagnosis. Every trans shop wants to fix everything with a rebuild. If its just a seal leak, any shop can fix that.
