Default Drop pan tranny fluid guide

Anyone know any guides on this? My shifting is getting more hesitant sometimes, it varies, so I wanna drop pan change fluid so I can see if that helps, if not ill save for a rebuild eventually. But anyone got any guides on this as I was stating or Can provide with a step bases?

You've never dropped trans pan? Just you tube it and watch. Easy as changing oil

Nope, everything else but that lmao, but sometimes when I push on the pedal, it hesitiates and sounds like it grinds a bit, then takes off. Hopfully changing the fluid and eventually, when my warranty is up, add a shift kit. Im assuming just unbolt, drain, wipe, and fill back up?

When I did my shift kit it took just a little over an hour to do everything. it is all really self explanatory. Here is a guide if you need one.

Anyone with a ls4 or l67 should go with a shift kit. Helps take some wear down and make them last

The only issue with a shift kit is that my car is under extended warranty that fixes my tranny if it fails so I'm not sure if adding the shift kit would void it or if I should just stop pan now. Kinda don't wanna screw my baby up

If you have a warranty, then I would bring it in.

But it doesn't happen every time, just every so often, you think the dealer will still look it if that's the case?

Tell them it's all the time then. No need having a worse problem if they will fix it

So don't even bother dropping the pan and changing the fluid eh? Just take it straight in
