However I took it a couple steps up since thse things had some tranny isssues, and I did not want to take any chances. I had my fluid changed over to Redline Synthetic, and I also installed a small tranny cooler in the front grill. I still use the cooler on the radiator, but then it goes to the cooler I installed before it goes back to the trans.

I just change the 4 (or more) qts. of Redline by dropping the pan every year or 15k.

The angle these tranny pans are on is awsome, makes it a cake walk to do it!

Save yourself some money and do it yourself!
15K is a overkill but I do not see why it would hurt anything.
One of the thick rubber stiff reuseable pan gaskets would help on changing filter and fluid.
Cry says to only use only there ATF+4 cry transmission fluid in most of the newer automatic transmissions and has retofited some of the 95 up past years to it.
