    New Humvee Owner - Transmission question

    I just wanted to thank you for this response. I changed the transmission filter this morning and experienced zero transmission issues all day today... she shifts like a champ! Changing the filter was a real pain in the ass, but I like solution much better than the alternatives! Thank you...
