Here is an update since my last post.The complete tranny fluid change did the job for me.The directions posted on this forum worked good for me.One other step I would recommend is to let the fluid run over a magnet to search and assist you to find out if you may have a lot of metal in the fluid.Usually when you take out the drain plug,if it looks like Don King with a bad hair day you may need a new tranny my fluid was clean of all metal and so was the washable filter.Now for my new problem.
MY TRANNY NOW HAS A LEAK THAT IT DID NOT HAVE BEFORE I DID A COMPLETE TRANNY FLUID CHANGE DOES ANY ONE HAVE ANY IDEAS? THE FLUID LEVEL SEEMS TO BE CORRECT.I HAVE CRAWLED UNDER , ON TOP OF , AND JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE ELSE I CAN AND CAN NOT FIND A LEAK OR EVIDENCE OF ONE EXCEPT FOR THE WET SPOT ON MY DRIVEWAY. THE ONLY THING IVE NOT DONE IS LOOK AT THE OUTPUT SHAFT SEAL(S). IF THESE ARE LEAKING DOES ANYONR KNOW HOW TO REPLACE? ANY AND ALL HELP WOULD BE GREAT. THANKS ALL.

When I did my change, the fill tube came out a little when I was filling through the dip stick and i spilled some. Any chance that happened? Otherwise I'd think you'd find the source somewhere.
