I have to admit to you, I don't know a single thing about transmissions at all. I am a dunce when it comes to these things. I had no idea that there is another type of oil somewhere else on the car in the transmission other than the red fluid. I think that I need to simply find a european transmission shop that knows what to look for and have them take a look at it and do a change on it. What "other" cars should I mention or look for when choosing a shop? I mean, what other cars use our transmisiion? - VB >From: "David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: [DML] Re: Questions on automatic transmissions >Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2004 18:17:05 -0000 > > > > >The "bloody red stuff" (Dexron-Mercon) is SUPPOSED to go into the >transmission!
