RE: [DML] Re: Questions on automatic transmissions

["Luis Bas" <TrekkerLB@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm like you, and I also misunderstood Dave when he spoke about the gear
oil.  I'm glad to see that I didn't foul things up as bad as I thought I
did.

As to the question of changing the fluid/oil - I had many people tell me
both - do it/don't do it - for other cars.  The truth is I did it, and
the car ran fine and never ended up with a trans problem.

Unless I'm misunderstanding it again -  the brain trust - if I could use
that term feel that one can change the fluid and not mess up the trans.

Thanks for all the info - I guess I'll need to put in a call to Grady!

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?
