Bought wheels and tires for it. 32x10.5 Falken Wildpeaks on 18x9 Gear Alloys. The difference in ride quality is unreal!

replaced rear shocks (nivomat zw7) with oem. front shocks didn't get done cause they sent shocks for a 2012 hyundai elantra somehow. part #s not even remotely similar, i don't know what the heck happened there, but my invoice is for the right ones, so now i gotta wait until next weekend.

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...

All cleaned up and Lubelocker gasket...

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.

OOOH boy that fluid was overdue.

Bottom of pan looks GREAT though. Yay vette servo! The ROI is huge for that one. Cheap and quick mod for a bit of + reliability and a better shift feel. No downside imo as you don't notice it unless you are at WOT. So stupid GM didnt put it in everything.
