Glad you got it done. I had no problem with my waterpump replacements.
What part did you have trouble with? "screw oil cooler and waterpump replacements"Thanks. It wasn't even the pumps. It was the gaskets that failed, but since the pump got hot, I replaced it anyway.
OOOH boy that fluid was overdue.Finally got to the trans fluid and filter change. AC Delco Dexron VI from Amazon. AC Delco filter and seal #24208576 (I didn't use the pan gasket).

Fluid was DARK.

I did remove the linkage bracket (driver side, T40 torx) and the heat shield (passenger side, 10mm). Pan came down easy peasy. No prying, pulling, or anything. Just the right angle and down it came.
Pretty good bit of sludge on the magnet, but no shards or chunks...

The filter seal was hard to get out, but I managed to get an edge bent away and got ahold of it with a little pliers.

Since BlackBear is in two weeks and I had the fluid out, I decided to make a day of it. You guessed it, Vette servo! Followed this:

Went as planned. I didn't get any pics of this because it was getting dark and started raining. I was going as fast as I could while still respecting the fact that I was working on my transmission. Getting the snap ring back in sucks.
Finished the flush and used the stick to get the level close. I put it through all the gears in idle and double checked. Then I took it around the block a few times. 1-2 shift is nice. With the little sprinkle going, it even got loose for a sec at WOT. Sweet. So far so good.
Got home, put it through the gears in idle again, rechecked the fluid level, and topped it off. Will check hot again tomorrow. Follow up later.
Got me a 2020 NJ inspection sticker.View attachment 209388
