[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 993262, member: 61136"] Scott, What I found is the pan holds no fluid. Maybe a few ounces. The 4 qaurts I drained from the plug. On the trans-axle part of the transmission. It appears the only fluid in the pan area is what seeps from the valve body. Im just glad the gasket was a formed reusable. That pan was a pain in the but, to remove and re-install. I had to remove the battery, tray and mounting bracket from the frame. Also the plastic skid plate. She couldnt' afford the cost of a flush. So after a few hundred miles. I will dump the trans-axle again. For 4 more fresh qaurts. Better than doing nothing. Your right about the trans filters not being dirty. Just for my own knowledge. I have cut trans filters open, at 50k miles. Flush them backwards with a cleaner. Very little clutch and band material came out. M Guy, I bet the R&D and build cost on front drivers is just as much. Especialy a trans-axle vs a rwd trans. [/QUOTE]
