got the shift kit in I dont have enuff dexron VI to fill it tho the guy at the dealership told me there was no way i would use more than 7....well he was wrong i need that 8th quart

on another note...the transmission is shifting great. I drove it 3 blocks home and it seems like the shifts are alot quicker. i will have to give it a true test on monday tho when i get that fluid

i bought a new pan gasket too. it was like $55 and didnt have to use it. So i gotta take that back too.

overall it was a good learning experience. i havent really ever took anything on my car like that apart on my own. the best part is it actually works and i didnt have any bolts left over

edit: i am glad i changed the fluid tho. it was pretty nasty looking and must have been the first time it was ever done

I have been doing alot on this car that i have never done I was pretty nervous having to take the accumulator apart.

I didnt ever have to work on my last monte..it had a warranty from the dealership i bought it from.
