Now for the important stuff: flush about a gallon of new (cheap, if there is such a thing anymore) ATF THROUGH (not around) the system BEFORE you break it done and then again once the new rack is in place. It's overkill, but what the hell, you'll be all greasy anyway and you certainly don't want to queef out that new rack with some ca-ca let behind from the disintegration of the old rack. George |
