Flushed my tranny... 200

Wow. What a difference clean fluid makes. Fluid coming out was eeeevil black, I was worried for a bit that I'd destroy my transmission. BUT, just ran around town a bit and everything seems A-OK. The clunkiness from 1st to 2nd is not completely gone, but SOOO much smoother. Thanks everyone, your past advice to others was valuable. Gracias.

    When I did my 960 it was like night and day. BTW it took about 1500 miles for it to settle down and really get smooth. So you will probably see the shifts improve more as you put some miles on the car.

    It is indeed amazing how much difference fresh fluid makes when the old fluid is far gone. Hopefully next time you will flush it before it gets that bad!
