Ok, so I'm putting in the 3.55 gears from Jim K. Step #1, pull the vacuum modulator and drain some trans fluid. Hey, while we're doing that, why not just change the trans fluid and filter, too.
So I drop the pan and inspect the trans. Hello, what's this wire hanging by one end? It looks like it's supposed to be soldered to a funny looking can, and the can cover is very loose. I'm assuming I should pull the wire and can, and re-solder them together?
And the modulator had one O ring and the trans filter had two - I believe that's right, right?
The fluid was not the very clean clear red as new fluid is, it was a little dark. But it didn't smell burned at all. The coach came with two, new trans pan gaskets in boxes, and the PO said it always seemed to leak a little. He was right, it always has.
So any tips or suggestions on this part of the operation?
As always,
Thanks!
