" From: Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx> " " That reluctance to change or flush fluid: Every one of the horror " stories I've heard ("it was working OK, but once I changed the fluid, it " stopped working" type things) were very old, unrebuilt transmissions " usually with unknown histories; it's not hard to imagine grit and crud " laying dormant on the bottom of passageways swept up into the fluid... a modern-style tranny flush would really shine here. " If the transmission was serviced AT ALL (fluid change/adjust more than " rarely) it's a GOOD IDEA to change fluids regularly. Screw the TSM here; " I can personally attest that frequent (every 2 - 4 years) service will " extend the running life (between rebuilds) and overall life of the " transmission. the sharpest auto-tranny fellow around here, widely known and respected for top-quality work on whatever you threw at him, changed his own fluid every year. 'fluid is cheap. rebuilds are expensive.' ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
