See, my fluid(with 50k on it since last filter/fluid service) looks
spectacular. I think I am going to dump the $90 bones and see if maybe its
just a clogged filter or something, seems highly unlikey but at least then I
can justify the $1400+ for a rebuilt tranny.
Thanks for the link for PowerDemon, I will get a hold of them if it comes
down to it.
