taxes



they also recommended transmission flush and fluid change same thing on engine so thats next on to do list

I have to say guys you are amazing for having so much passion for what you do and to help out all of us out here that struggle with auto repairs. I am truly grateful for all of your help and guidance will keep you on my so to say speed dial

 

Thank you for downloads of repair troubleshooting manual that is a great thing to have.

is that something thats available to buy or its strictly for mechanics

 

Thank you for the update.
Suggestion,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Trans fluid and filter change always a good thing to do, per owner's manual schedule..

Trans flush not recommended. Stirs up "stuff" that can cause problems inside valve body, especially on older vehicles.

 

All those are from my alldata software and it covers any car up to 2007. It's copyrighted so I can't burn DVDs and sell or give away to anyone. If you need anything in particular please ask and I'm more than happy to share my alldata with anyone.

If your van is 10 years old and you have been changing the transmission oil routinely and it's not under heavy load (i.e. towing/heavy trailer), it's fine. When you are not the 1st owner and when it's 16 years old, don't flush it and take the risk. What I do recommend if you plan to keep this van for a while you should upgrade to a pan with drain plug (if yours doesn't have it).

 

Awesome thank you for recommendation on transmission flush will definately look into pan with plug
