• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

The fluid will be run through a dirty filter, and ultimately it will be contaminated and dirty like the old fluid. Completely a waste of time...

Not completely. He has cleaned out the dirty fluid in the converter. Now he just needs to get a filter change.

I do this every few years.....get my buddy to do a line flush, then drop the pan and change out the filter.
 
It sucks out allll of the fluid and so much debris if got to watch it all come out so I mean ill do a filter change the next time. Which won't be till 100k and I hope to be done with the car by then
 


Alrighty... I just think that dropping the pan and changing the filter is so easy, why cut corners? But I can't throw stones at you about your car so to each his own...

i hope it works out for you. but the machine does nothing to pull debris from the filter. when you put clean fluid in it cleans more and brings more dirt into the filter, guess what dirty filter equals a eventual disaster. then your assed out of a transmission all for 12bucks of filter. you can drop then pan put in the fi'ter a re-use youre fluid if you want. the thing is do you really want to skimp out on your daily driver?d o it right man

that only happens for retards the let the pan hang by one bolt and end up bending the flange just enough to cause leak. ive done at least 3-4 pan drops on my gxp and 3 on my gtp. never a leak or problem.
 


Got the caprice started. Did a burnout down the road got ready to back it up into it's spot at my friend's apartment and it loaded up and died again. What the **** is wrong with this thing?
 
I experienced my first major hydroplane today. Had my music up and it was raining... distracted driving. Went through a pond in the road and it started pulling me head first into a dodge caravan... then the buick was like eff that and turned on traction control to straighten her out

That sounds more like a story a mechanic tells someone who doesn't know any better so they go the more expensive route on certain repairs/services. I've never had an issue with doing pan drops on any car I have ever done them on.
 


Right, Like 91parkave said, it's from letting the pan hang by 1 bolt, it's a thin aluminum pan and will bend. Then it will leak and the bend isn't easy to see, but plenty to leak. Just once you get down to 3 bolts keep your hand pressed on it until you have them all out and you'll be fine. I saw that as a possibility on my own when I did mine, and put it in the write-up I made for the shift kit.
