Got her back from John Winslow a couple of weeks back, and she is looking GOOD. He did a great job. I posted one pic from retrieval day in SC then the after ones for a comparison

Mine runs really strong on the hills, I can accelerate up to 50 miles an hour in no time going uphill... it sounds like you have another cause, most likely fuel like others have said, usually the culprit is the fuel filter and or old fuel that has been sitting in the tank depending on how long...

Lets see.... Transmission switchover to Dexron III + filters Engine Oil change and filters New wipers Replaced air return line on the power steering Replaced pipe from Air cleaner to EGR Blocked off intake to EGR so engine no longer breaths exhaust Cut EGR tube out of main exhaust Adjusted...

I am 6'4" and have the same issue, when I sit up straight, I am looking straight into the hardtop and the top frame of the windshield. So a little slouching and then I crane my neck down to see the green light when sitting front row, or else its totally blocked. The deuce is a dream though...

WOW! for homemade that looks great!!

I use the standard 50/50 pre-diluted version from NAPA, seems to work well.

170-180 degrees is normal for mine.

I have exactly the same problem on my A3, there is definitely no drive cable on mine just a pin plug. I bought a brand new gauge and plugged it in and nothing so I don't think it is the gauge, it must be the sender on the engine, anybody know anything about this?

Mine does this as well, feels like a frame flex and "POP" I am going to try the grease fittings as others have had success with.

On the first drain, I just replaced with DIII, drove around a little to get it all mixed up, then on the second drain I dropped the pan (which yielded at least another quart sitting in the bottom) and changed the internal filter. Then I changed the external as well (which yielded about another...

This is a good idea, thanks for the help, I have both my trucks at 28.5 now from about 26.7 so I am quite happy.

My running temps and warm up characteristics were pretty much the same, sounds like you might have a problem, I am almost certain my trans temp hasn't gone over about 180 deg.

Yes it is my M35A3, should have included that, I did edit the post. Thanks

My general goal as to have a 'good' idea on how much and more importantly 'which' way to turn it as it looked like it would require removal of the Genny to be able to access the port (Oil cooler in the way). On closer inspection though I was able to bend a cheap screwdriver to access the port...

I answered my own question this weekend and the part # in case someone needs it is NAPA - 1892, thanks

I forgot to add, it idles so much smoother as well, kinda funny, maybe less drag on the TC? but it doesn't vibrate at idle as much, an unexpected benefit I will take...

Quite a mission, but nonetheless it is done! I took it for a ride and it wasnt shifting to 4th properly and i thought H*@Y CR*P I am going down the same road as other members with blown transmissions..... Came back to the shop, checked fluid level and it was about a quart and 1/2 low, topped it...

I just tested this, added the bookmark, and no problem if I use it, however if I come in off a search engine link the Ad pops in first, crazy!

Fun thread!

I am almost certain I know the answer to this but wanted to check 100% before making a mistake. On my M923-A1 it has the additional spin on transmission oil filter in the engine compartment on the RHS. There is still another filter in the pan, correct? Thanks for the help.
