Nitrous with 3800 S/C?

[richtazz]

Tranny flushes are ok if done regularly, like ever 36-50k depending on how hard you drive. It's when you wait until 75-80kor more to do your first one when the fluid is burnt and brown that you run into problems.

oh ok, so my first flush was at 45K, i mean, i don't see or feel any problems other than a minor leak which I corrected by tightening the tranny pan down slightly when the car was warm.

But as far as the tranny pan goes, any recomendations as to where to purchase and instructions on installing?

At 45k i had the tranny flushed (I didn't know the reprecutions of this until after it was done) and would rather handle a drain and refill by myself.

Also, would zzp, 3800perf, or pfyc have a tranny pan as mentioned above by bnaylor?

Here's a procedure with pics for a tranny pan drop and screen filter change:

On the tranny pan, 3800Performance used to have them but they are no longer listed and stopped selling them. It was made by MSP.

I got mine special order from a local speed shop. Cost was $195.00.

Also B&M makes a universal ATF drain plug kit if you just want to add drain capability for the tranny pan. Cost $14.00.

Hope the info helps and good luck!

I plan on doing a tranny flush at 40k...

On a side note I had a 80-something Monte Carlo try to race me tonight, he was loping pretty hard at the light so I thought I was in for it, wrong, he was all sound and no go... I wouldn't even consider it a race, also raced an 03' SSR yesterday(had to be I believe the 6.0L would kill me) and beat him pretty handily...
