[QUOTE="Martin Olson, post: 1030717, member: 70049"] I have a 01 with about 152K. I have been having some transmission slippage, particular when cold. I contacted the first owner and he never did a tranny service. I changed it out and the fluid was in bad shape and the screen on the filter was somewhat clogged. I replaced the fluid and changed the filter. I am still seeing slippage but it is not as harsh as it was. I guess I am going to take it to the next level. After researching the next step seems to be checking for a blown valve body gasket and/or a valve body rebuild kit. I know many others have been at this point. Here's what I am looking at: Trying a valve body rebuild myself. - Did you try this and did it fix your issue? - Any recommendations on kits? Take it to a tranny shop: - Rebuild the tranny? - Install a used one not fully rebuilt? I would hate to spend a bunch of money on a rebuild kit if they don't work. I would hate to spend a bunch of money at a tranny shop if I could get by with a valve rebuild. I would appreciate your wisdom and expertise. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
