Thanks for the support. The Jeep is high enough I don"t even have to lift up to get to the transmission bottom pan. It's been a long while since I did it the first time(somewhere around 1995 or about 15 years ago). This particular unit of mine has a drain plug on the pan. The last time I changed the fluid, I probably drained as much as I could through the drain plug before loosening up all the 10mm. bolts around the pan. I did replace the filter and pan gasket. Also remember that there's a magnet strip on the inside of the pan. I worked to a great length in removing as much as possible the metal shavings that's stuck on it. The owner's manual calls for Dexron II . The last time I had a leak from the cooling hose, I used Dex/Merc to refill. I will probably end up with the same fluid this time, with the addition of TransX to revitalize the seals as a choice recommended by Javatrooper. To Fredjacksonsan, I don't mind getting dirty. It's fun. When I am in the middle of fixing something, I just go for the action and forget about things on the side. If I get stuck for lack of more ideas, I will holler. Again, thanks to all.
