So other day '90 started slipping when shifting. Pretty significant "flare" on 2-3 shift.
Checked fluid, full but just Nasty! Horrid brown stanky stuff!
Bought bunch of fluid, some new hoses, and filter kit.
Let tranny pump out pan via cooler line.
Dropped pan.
Lots cleaner than I expected, but some aluminum in there.
Here's the filter, can see where it stopped a bunch of aluminum.
Troublesome spot, filter media out of frame. Wonder if unfiltered crap can get sucked through there?
New filter, 4qts clean fluid, let trans pump it out. Fluid still yuk, 4qts more, fluid was red again, and no stinkage anymore.
Test drove it, seems much better. I could not get it to "flare" on 2-3 shift anymore. 1-2 shift seems cleaner/quicker too.
Crossing fingers/toes I'll get a little more life out of it?
