just ordered 3 quarts ... Im at 48,000 miles and I havent gotten my tranny fluid changed yet. Is that bad isnt it supposed to be done every 30k???? Uh oh!! lol

 

I had the gasket problem happen to me too. Only on the drain plug though. I re-tightened it without putting the gasket back on. As of right now, it's still off. What will happen if it's not back on there? I just did the swap about 2 days ago and have driven the car about 100 miles thus far.

 

I found mine dripping without the gasket. Maybe yours may or may not drip, but gaskets are good things in my book. You won't lose too much if you're ready to replace the plug after putting the gasket on. Keep the fill plugged up while you do the reinstall and then refill and you should be good.

Again, yours may be fine without the gasket, but mine dripped without it.

 

Thanks for the heads up. Next chance I get I'll plug the drain up and throw that gasket back on. I'll have to check for leaks too. My worst fear is the bolt vibrating out while I drive and then losing all the oil...haha.

 

that would probably have a very negative impact on your transmission. Keep an eye on it and you'll be fine.

 

Did my redline change yesterday and wow it definitely feels a lotttttt smoother shifting. How long do WE have to wait to change it out again 20k 50k?

 

so we need 3 bottles not 2? do we need to flush the oil fluid out or just let it drain?

 

You dont have to flush it out, I filled it from the top so as soon as it started dripping out of the fill hole on the bottem which was almost almost 3 quarts ure done.

 

how often do you have to change synthetic??

and how often do you have to change synthetic oil for engine ?? 5k 6k 7k 8k?

 

Change like motor oil - drain then fill.

I'm not sure how long you can go without changing it (without detriment to your car), but I change my engine oil (mobil 1 full synthetic) at 4k or less. There's a thread over in maintenance that covers this subject.

 

When i did mine i felt a small diference but nothing crazy...idk maybe its just me
