What are the things I’m going to need to do my transmission tune-up? It has 99k miles and I have never done it.

 

Basic deal is filter and fluid swap. While you are at it I would highly suggest getting an aftermarket tranny cooler added on it. You can get them for as low as 60bucks shipped. And the J-mod would be worth while since you will already have the pan off.

 

Hey Spike, you got a link to the J-mod?

 

You can't do it to your tranny in your car. This is for the Pre 05 cars.

This however is the newer updated version of the J-mod for all of you with the 4R70W tranny.

Ya, I know, plus ours is a five speed. I just hear about it all the time and was wondering what it was. Thanks!

 

what is the J-mod exactly. I need to be changing my auto tranny fluid soon too.

 

I would like to do the j-mod but VAP auto don't have them and I’m going to buy the tranny cooler. I have few more?

1. Which is the best tranny fluid for auto and how many i need?
2. Where can I buy a tranny cooler at online or at AutoZone?
3. Which tranny kit or it does not matter?

 

Is royal purple Max ATF is good? On the tranny cooler B&M are good do I have to buy a size that fit on my car or any size will do?

 

You do not buy the J-mod you have to do the mod yourself. As for fluid you can spend the money on the exspensive stuff if you want, but really you should be swapping tranny fluid every 25 to 30k miles so its not worth it for the super expensive stuff.

Summit racing sells a nice B&M tranny cooler kit which has everything you need found here.

Just order the B&M tranny cooler about the j-mod it looks hard to do and I don't want to **** it up. And I buy a pod for vert and a tranny temp gauge so see the before and after temp.

 

If you read threw it and do some searching ,as this has been covered by many other places too, you will see its not very hard to do at all. You drill some holes and what not its pretty simple really. I will see if I can find another good link as well.

 

Well I did do all my tune-up for my tranny. I did install the tranny cooler my tranny feels new it pulls more I did buy some gauges for the temp to see before and after temp but I don’t know how to put them on.
