I drained my tranny today to send out the valve body to Kirt... I must have drained 10 quarts before taking out the valve body. After the valve body, nothing came out... maybe less than 1/4 quart.

Anyway, filter said 1993... so no one every changed the fluid... If you dip your hand in it, it look fairly clean... even dirty oil will look pretty okay. BUT... when I pour it into my recycle bucket... WHOA... pitch black full of sediment suspended. I have never dumped tranny fluid that dirty.

I'd like to smack whoever coined Lifetime Fluid... they obviously have no idea what they are talking about. There is no way the filter can handle all that sediments... must have bee running though bypass all these time. No wonder my valve body croaked.
