[DML] Re: Questions on automatic transmissions





I recently changed my auto tranny fluid along with the final drive.  
I was shocked (and a bit angry) to find that there was "bloody red 
stuff" in the final drive!  And only about two handfulls.

Needslees to say, I drained it and used the proper gear oil at the 
proper level.

Geez, some of these P.O.'s really amaze me...
