Yes I know, another transmission question. BUT, my 2001 CL-S has been so good to me, bought new in 2001 and currently have 168,500 miles on it without any problems other than routine maintenance. Did the timing belt, water pump and spark plugs at 108k miles. I have changed the transmission fluid drain and refill every 30k miles til 100k, and then every 15k miles after I passed the 100k mark.
I am just trying to make this car last, while I save up money for down payments for a house.
I know the transmission was replaced at some point early in the car's life as a recall. It was not causing any problems -the dealer just replaced it when I went for a routine oil change.
How do I know what "kind" of tranny this is? I am trying to dig up the service records -I heard if it was done after Feb 2005, it should be good? Am I looking for blue bolts and what does that mean? Should I check to see if it has a oil-jet kit installed?
(My car's engine has even been hydrolocked!, cousin drove through standing water with an AEM intake and the engine came back to life after flushing with oil and tranny fluids at the dealer, at around 95k)
