Jus to put my 2 bits worth in..A good synthetic GL4 will make the cold shift much better and forestall a rebuild for a while. My choice is Redline MT 90 fo your van. Proven good results a hundred times over (well OK maybe 50 times). Just do it. I have it for $10 a qt if you can't find it locally. Daryl of AA Transaxle Duvall, WA.
