Thanks guys.
I have changed it twice now and is better. I will do a third tomorrow. Then order a new filter and buy some more oil. I have been using castrol dex 3.
I was looking at a trans cooler, and I think there is one already installed which explains a lot. Because I needed to rip out the carpet and was expecting tremendous heat where the tranny sits, but there was not. The carpet became sodden after getting stuck in a puddle. The stench!! My God it was awful, it was a stagnant puddle and the smell was just horrible.
I will keep the idea of an electric fan but for now I just need to maintain good oil in the tranny and keep it that way. Then replace the leaf springs because they go down, literally, not up.
I do not know when the trans cooler was installed, do they have a life span?
