Maybe a dismal amount. The fluid looked good during the flush but towards the very end, it looked a tad milky. It's still doing well. The radiator coolant looks fine as well but I'm still thinking it needs a flush tho.eieio wrote:was there coolant in the trans oil?daxnizmo wrote:I have 138K miles.

Well...who knows?! The cheapest option at this point would be to do the bypass, flush the coolant, and flush the transmission fluid. Worst case you do this and the transmission continues to get worse and eventually fails. Best cast it keeps on trucking for awhile longer.Keithr9986 wrote:Do you folks think that her doing the bypass will cure most of it.
Yes that is 100% correct... And I like your illustration.
