3. Inspect for metal shavings, grit, etc, and then wipe clean.
4. Remove the transmission filter. (Is it also black and held on by 4 bolts for us?) Will a new filter replace the entire unit, or go inside the housing that was hold on by bolts? (i.e., is it a housing or the filter itself?)
I stopped at "Remove the 10mm bolts to drop the valve body down" since I'm assuming that's for the shift kit install, not a tranny flush. Would the next steps be:
5. Replace gasket, replace filter, re-bolt transmission pan?
Tyler, you're (Along with Brett) pretty much the authority amongst ATX 3/S owners. At least you guys are the active atx 3/s owners that come to mind
I REALLY appreciate the help, since I need to do my flush, and I'm pretty sad when it comes to doing stuff like this. That said, I AM willing to get my hands dirty and learn, I just need to be 100% sure I'm NOT going to fuck up my car by doing something stupid
There's ATF-3 and ATF-4 in terms of fluid, right? Does it matter which one I use? I have a feeling any brand name ATF-3 will suffice. Also, if I check with the auto parts store and ask someone at the counter, can they get me the correct filter/gasket, or do you have a link/phone # of who i can call for a new set?
I appreciate the help, and I'll be sure and photo everything I do so that we WILL have out own picture walkthrough for future reference
