    Hey guys, I had my Transmission fluid flushed (pan gasket and Filter change too) last week at 57k miles. Long story short the Fu** Tards didn't fill up my tranny fluid before i was allowed to drive off on my way.. so i experienced rough shifting like immediately, and brought the car back. They apologized like it was their purpose in life and topped it off like 1 gallon later lol. Anyway, the Tranny shifted fine for 5 days then I noticed after long drive times it shifts really rough again until it cools a little, then its fine. So i went back today, they did a reflush and checked everything out. So now my fingers are crossed! Found out it all looks good except my tranny fluid/engine seems to be running a bit hot! The guy suggested a coolant flush since i've never had it done. I really don't wanna mess with that Dexcool sh*t so i'm hesitant to do it plus i dont wanna use Dexcool again. How does everyone feel about that green Chameleon Antifreeze? Is it any good/a good Dexcool replacement?

    Finding a good shop is some what of a pain and there arent mainy that are trustworthy in my opinion

    I found a local muffler /repair/race shop years ago and will never change.

    As for the coolant switch to the green stuff. dexcool is icky stuff..
    And id watch that trans closely at the first real sign of trouble take it to a trans shop and then go talk to the bastards that didnt put the fluid in it...
