Did my second fluid drain. Still pretty brown, but it has a red tinge at least. Transmission is shifting and driving great. Probably going to do at least one more, possibly two.

Cool. I'll do that too after I flush my power steering.
Instead of reconnecting with rubber hose, maybe use a compression fitting .

Where are the AW4 from? if its so good why do they use that junk 44 RE for a V8 instead of this AW4? And someone said many trannys break after fluid change, I think it breaks after a crooked shop pumps it in reverse direction through your lines, and normal debris collects together. I have been told you can take both hoses lose and put one end in an empty jug, the other in a new gallon of fluid and it will pull in new while pumping out old, it seems like I even tried that and it didn't pull the new fluid in like I was told it would. It seems like the way the one guy on here explained to do it you would have that same effect if it did work though. the old fluid working its way out and new pushing in. No need for several drain and fills just run it till it is new fluid coming out, go through the gear selection also.

You might even be astonished!
My trans was worse than that more than 30,000 miles ago. I fixed it with a helper or two, some trans fluid, a good funnel, some rubber tubing, and a couple of hose clamps.
Find the line that comes from the transmission to the rad cooler. It's the one that leaves the front of the trans.
Trace that up to the front near the radiator. There's a convenient place to cut the line there. Yes, I said cut the line. Use a mini tubing cutter.
Now attach a section of rubber hose (get it from your auto shop) to the end that comes out of the transmission. You'll need a foot and a half or maybe two feet here. Just slip it on - no clamp needed, really.
Run that into a drain pan.
Now pull your dipstick and put a good funnel in there. It's best if you get one that allows you to watch the fluid level.
Have Helper 1 watch the drain pan. He's looking for the fluid color to change.
Helper Two will operate the ignition switch.
You will pour in the new trans fluid.
Start the engine while pouring in the fresh fluid. The trans will pump the old fluid into the drain pan. When it starts coming out clean, you have safely flushed your transmission and replaced all the old gunk.
Shut off the engine, use a 3" piece of hose and a couple of clamps to repair the cut, and check your trans fluid level. Adjust the level as needed.
Since doing this on my 97, I have put on more than 30,000 miles and my trans is still going strong. That 30,000 includes some heavy towing, and a lot of mountain driving.
It's worth a try.

Wow. Good post. I'm having this issue just now. Only in drive. It revs then slams into gear. Not all the time. I'll change it this weekend.
Thanks. This forum is the best
