Transmission Fluid Change Question
 

I have a '96 GC 4.0 w/167k on it. I was wondering how hard it is to change
out the filter and fluid on this. Any thoughts or comments are
appreciated.....

Ed,

If you can change your own oil and filter you can change the tranny filter
and fluid.

It does not require any special tools other than a pair of ramps, jack
stands, or a handy retaining wall to lift the GC to a comfortable height to
be crawling underneath..

Hi Ed,
The problem is the torque converter doesn't have a drain plug, and
should be flushed with the proper equipment:

tap it.

Re: Transmission Fluid Change Question
 

If this is a concern change it twice. If what you drain the second time is
reasonably clean, don't worry too much.
