yep, I agree. The local AMCO transmission shop wouldn't touch my tranny after looking at the color of the TF. He told me the same thing. He also said ppl have brought their cars after getting the tranny flushed at a quick lube place, and haveing to shell out $4k for a replacement tranny :shock:

thanks for the link, printed in color and added to my favorites! After reviewing everything, I guess my last question is, are there any bleeder valves that need to be opened to ensure all the air is out of the system when i refill it the 50/50 mix?

It is the coil magnet from the dashboard mounted speaker. Correct. When you pull the speaker it will look like this: http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/8356/dsc01942bq5.jpg I didn't even try to fix mine, I just replaced them with some 3 1/2" Infinity speakers. (better glue!) Here is how they c...
