Have any of you guy`s dropped the pan on you transmissions yet? I have changed my fluid about four or five times since October 09. I now have Amsoil in it now,so far so good. My question is;I notice when I check the fluid level,I get a silver silt like stuff on the paper towel along with the cherry red new fluid. This tells me I probably have a build up of silt on the magnets/bottom of pan. How ever,when I tried to drop the pan,I could not get to one of the bolts where the trans/engine frame is. Thus I =`m wondering if any of you guy`s have done this yet and if so,how do you get that one problematic bolt out?

 

I looked at the service manual and it did not mention anything other than, remove 18 bolts...

 

Tale a pic next time so we can check it out.

 

Yeah,I`ll try and do that. When it was up on the lift at my buddies shop, it looks easy to get to. But laying on the ground,it`s a different scenerio.

 

I had a rough time getting a couple of screws out too. But in the end, I did it with just a regular wrench. You have to just play around with the angle, to get it to turn.

 

Yeah,I guess your right,but in this cold here right now,it can wait.
