Well, I've had my car for about 7 months now and I have done a good bit of work to it, but now I need to focus on the transmission. The fluid doesn't look too good, it looks brown, but doesn't smell burnt. The tranny doesn't slip or lag, either, even though it's got 176,000 miles on it. So I've decided to put in a new transmission filter and fluid since I have no idea how long it has been since it's been changed. I just have some quick questions.
1. How hard is it, on a scale of 1 to 10, to drain the tranny and put in a new filter?
2. What brand of filter should I get?
3. While I have the tranny drained, should I install a shift kit or at least a deeper pan (I think I know the answer to this one
)?
Thanks in advance for the help. Transmissions are about the last thing I don't feel I understand very well on cars (well, auto trannies).
