Just make sure you drain out enough to compensate the contents of the bottle your putting in. You dont want to just add this stuff,or you will more than likely be over filled. Did you do any drain/fills with this trans yet?

the Tran fluid was exchanged at the 90,000 miles service and right now the car has 103,000 miles on it.

I am on the path of drain/fill the transmission and I want to use Amsoil as well. Since, some old ATF will remain in the torque converter, is it ok to mix Amsoil with it? Do I need a complete flush?

No flushing recommended. Mix it up, it will not hurt it.

To get the most for your $$$, have it flushed out. They have a machine that will do that job. It takes a few extra quarts of fluid but well worth it as u get 99% of the old fluid out.

so just to confirm, is that "rock catcher" replacable ? (is it a filter) or do we just reinstall the darn thing.

Ok, here is the update, it looks like it actually works!. I added the Transmatic fluid to my car, and I don't if it is the placebo affect but, it seems like my hestitation lag is gone. I can't believe it either but it actually seems like it is working.

I used to have a hesistation lag going getting my speed up from 35 miles up to 40, but now, It seems like the lag is completely gone.

This could definitely help everyone that is having transmission problems with their cars. And the cost was only $29.99!
