I changed the transmission filter today. Sucked out the fluid with my vacuum pump, dropped the pan, started scraping the RTV and gasket off (it had both), called the cops to report a physical DV going on across the street, pulled the old filter out, put the new one in, then…
The filter is supposed to just flop around in here? The bolt seemed like it was too long, so I searched the site here and found out that was normal. Phew. What a great resource this is! Once it was all buttoned up I poured in four quarts of Dextron VI (the BX doesn’t stock III) and took it around the block. I ended up adding another quart just to get it on the dipstick, but it’s still showing low. I’ll give it a few days and check it again.
