Diagnose Automatic Transmission Problems

Auto Transmission Help, Right Here

There are a few words in the language of auto repair that make car owners want to crawl back into bed, and "transmission" is at the top of the list. There's something about that mysterious box underneath your car that incites fear. Unfortunately, most repair shops know this, and will take advantage of the situation by reaching deep into your pocket.
Before you hand over your keys and a blank check, brush up on the simple end of automatic transmissions. If something is seriously wrong, at least you'll be armed with enough knowledge to avoid being overcharged, over-repaired or straight ripped off.<!--/gc-->

You should probably wait until you're done modding the stock tranny should be able to handle litte mods at a time as long as you're not beating it plus if you upgrade too soon and do more mods you might need to reupgrade again.
