I don't know about the special... but that is what Kirt always quoted me. The part is only $100... and $250 sweat labor for a couple of hours work. It's good money,

Well then I think you can handle this valve body job yourself... just take time and it helps if you have the car high up off the ground. The bolts you take off the valve body has a bigger head... and there is 13 of them.

But before you remove the bolts... take out the speed sensors first... and the wire harness... very easy work.

The fluid is up to you... I personally cannot justify $250 for 10 quarts of ATF... I just bought 12 quarts for $38 with tax! Pennzoil has confirmed with me that the multivehicle ATF they have... is compatible with what we have.

Another point to bring up is that Shell owns Pennzoil and Quaker State... and both LA2634 and Multi-Vehicle ATF is semi-synthetic... so... who made the fluid?
