Default Jesus Wanted My Tranny Serviced ~ Thank God!

I need a whole bunch of stuff done to the Monte. Tune-up stuff; mostly.
Oil, filters, plugs and the one thing I have been putting-off and putting-off and not doing that I started getting paranoid about not doing a Tranny Flush.

Until I stopped-off at 7~11 to run-in and get me a cup of coffee.
Even thought the Handicapped Spot was empty; I drove a few spaces down the line, got out and slammed the seat belt while closing the door.

Opened the door and bent-down to get the seat belt when I spotted a Five Dollar Bill on the ground.
My lucky day!

Power lunched.
Coffee, with added caffiene, two Splenda'a and a Snickers.
Two Dollars and eighty-something cents.
The guy hands me the change.
I started to turn and leave when I said to myself: "Let it Roll, Ricky!"
So, I turned back to the guy and had him give me a Two-Dollar Scratch Ticket.

Out to the Monte.
Have a seat in the leather and sip some free coffee and bite of a Snickers and then get on-to that Scratch Ticket!

Red-5's. Get a Red 5 and Win the amount shown. Get a Money Bag Symbol and Win yada-yada ... an immediate hundred bucks.

Here we go.
Scratch-scratch ::::: Money Bag. $100.00
Scratch-scratch ::::: Black 11. Nothing.
Still excited about the Money Bag.
Scratch-scratch ::::: Money Bag. $100.00
OMFG ....
Scratch-scratch ::::: RED 5. $100.00
Scratch-oh-spots-clearing-off scratch :::: Money Bag. Money Bag. $200.

Back inside.
Show time.

Ticket validated. Clerk counts-out 25 ... $20.00 Bills.
Thank-you Jesus.

Sipping the coffee.
Driving to AAMCO.
"Gimme a whole Tranny full of fresh, new, Transmission Fluid please."
"When would you like to have that done?"
"Right now. Got to be right now. I won't have the money if I have to come back."
"Bring it on in, Man. Let's get you started."

The Monte's got it's Tranny flushed and filled.
I'm in a good mood.
The sun will be out. The roads will dry.
From my driveway to the parking lot at Mohegan Sun is 111.17 miles.
MapQuest says it will take 2 Hours. 120 minutes.
I'm shooting for under a hundred!!!

You went to Aamco and got a tranny flush?

I guess my next question is going to be what fluid did they use? And is it GM certified? And did they put enough in or overfill it?

AAMCO overfilled my Mom's transmission by 2 quarts, and it whinned like crazy. So I would recommend checking your tranny fluid level and make sure they put in the right amount.

Mike, No, AAMCO does not use GM certifed fluid, they use a fluid labeled AAMCO as the brand, and its is the older Dexron III spec, which means its not licensed by GM anymore.

I think your luck ran out the minute you walked through the door of Aamco.
