When i DROPED THE PAN ON MY 97 dAK I found more crap in the pan than i
ever had in my 73 Ford in 25 years combined. I am due for a change in
1500 miles If I find that much crap again I will think the have bad
trany design.
There special tranny oil may be a way of fixing a under engineered
transmision problem .
My Auto tranny is the worst one I have ever owned,but I have only owned
a chevy,ford,Audi,VW. all worked better than this one. I should have
baout a stick, but could not get the lower rear end.
