the external design is old, the internal esign is new. NOTE: There are two IPDMs listed for your vehicle. One has the locking ring on it, the other does not. Buy the one without, then transfer the ring from the old to the new. It saved 25.00 when i did that.

as of now, yes the rumble strip vibration is gone. I'm going to finish out this oil change, about 650 miles to go, then change the oil and do the poor mans flush to compleatly change the fluid. I've got to keep this pathy for at least three more years. only 1 1/2 years till she is paid for.

well, it wasn't what I'd call strawberry milkshake. it was still a dark red. just not clear. looked cloudy. I just did my second spill & fill with half a pint of seafoam trans tune. can says it removes moisture and cleans and dries hydraulics. there seafoam injector and engine treatment works we...

thanks deez. I'm really wanting someone to step up and say "it worked for me". best case, tranny is ok. worst case new tranny. 200.00 for fluids, 3-4000 for tranny. I can only hope.

tranny change

is a tranny change really the only fix for the contaminated fluid?

wouldn't a few spill and fills fix the prob?
