Question= Do you guys think this idea will work??==-- Assuming that the thing may blow and damage the whole tranny,how about I just drive in "d" (drive) positon from now on ?
Does "Transmission has never been serviced." mean the filter has never been changed? If so, have you thought about a fluid/filter change?
