Trans service done :0)
Used my buddies lift, much easier than in my driveway.
Car shifts better :0)

Did a drain and fill, drove around the block, then drain and fill, drove around the block
Then pulled the pan, no metal of any kind on the magnets- yay!
Swapped in new OEM filter (pelican)new drain and fill plugs, oem gasket
Added 1/2 blue bottle of Trans-x and the rest the ATF fluid that was on sale at jiffy mart...
..Just kidding, used the ATF-1 as required. Trans was at temp to top off, took more extra than I was expecting. Now it drives fine.
