You guys don't think I would have to go and replace my transmission? I can run an OBD2 through it to see what codes pop up. I haven't changed my fluid either. Not sure about the previous owner. I bought this car almost 3 years ago. I also bought a transmission filter awhile back but never got around to replacing it. From what I read on the forums, I can't do it, huh?

Thanks for help in advance!! I greatly appreciate it.



You can try to hook up an OBD-II reader, but you most likely will not retrieve any codes. Worth a shot though.

If you've never changed your fluid, then you really need to. Do the 4 quart drop, as outlined in the CD4E FAQ in the tranny forums. Do not! I repeat! Do not perform a system flush right now! You can read alot more about that in the FAQ as well.

As for the filter, well no you cannot. Not without pulling the transmission and cracking it open.
