IT'S TIME TO PULL OVER & LET IT COOL OFF. A GOOD TRANNY COOLER (NOT ONE OF THE CHEAP $29 PEP BOYS MODELS) IS EXCELLANT INSURANCE AGAINST TRANNY FAILURE. ( I JUST REPLACED A TRANNY IN A 94 2WD S15 JIMMY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. $1280 TO HAVE IT REBUILT & $490 LABOR FOR ME TO R&R IT. SO FOR $1800 I'D SURE TRY TO MAKE IT LAST AS LONG AS I COULD) ALSO... AFTER 500 MILES ON A NEW TRANNY.... CHANGE THE FILTER, & PUT NEW TRANNY FLUID IN THEN. NOWS A GOOD TIME TO PUT IN SYNTHETIC FLUID. DON'T WORRY ABOUT GETTING ALL OF THE DINO TRANS FLUID OUT, AS MOST SYNTHETIC FLUID (AT LEAST RED LINE, B&M TRICK SHIFT, & MOBILE 1 ) IS COMPATABLE WITH NORMAL OLD ATF.
