I changed out my transmission fluid last night with the help of the always helpful @Tlar. What would seem/used to be a straightforward process would have been nigh impossible for me without his help…Thanks Tom! @Photomancer also stopped by to kibitz and lend a helping hand where need…what a Mensch!
BUT…as usual, I screwed the pooch and lost a bolt that helps hold the fluid pan on. It is somewhat custom, distinctive in that is a specific length that bottoms out just right into the pan housing, and also has a permanent washer, i.e. can’t be removed but still spins freely. It is somewhere in the greater work table + auto area + laser + woodshop annex, so if by some ridiculous chance anyone sees it on the floor, or maybe it bounced onto a low shelf or under something or whatever, and realizes what it is, I’d appreciate you letting me know. Thanks…
