[QUOTE="planta, post: 249178, member: 7799"] Last issue Transmission - One car had the ATF wrongly changed. According to the owner, before it was sold to him, the dealer took it for an ATF change but after that the car was sluggish, lag and transmission change was not smooth. When we drained the ATF from the GB, the ATF was red. 5HP ATF is a bit yellowish and not red and by experience on the smell, we know this is Dextron III that used on 4HP transmission and not for 5HP transmission. Other issues - Worn out engine mounting and severed gear box mounting. We had to totally drained out the red ATF, removed the torque converter turned it upside down to let the balance ATF spill out, change the strainers and all oil seals.
