Don't need a new gasket correct? Maybe after the second time. Just reuse the stock gasket

nah, no warranty... I had an extended GM warranty, but that was over at 75k miles... I've got 101,000 on my car, hehe....
so, no warranty... was $3,000 outta my pocket...
yes, everything's done and good to go... I had them put a new GM SERTA tranny in it... told them I didn't want them to rebuild mine, and then I have something else go wrong in a month or two and I'd be back in there... just get me the new one... plus this way, it has a 3yr 100,000 mile warranty on it....
she runs STRONG... pulls like a fricken freight-train once again... hehe..

Watch the Tranny Filter/Fluid change if you don't do it yourself...
local dealer told me it would be $250 dollars to do the job...
I almost fell over.
Has everyone just done their own fluid/filter change??
