dropped the pan today

so i dropped the pan today
changed the fluid/filter
put in a shift kit
.
my gxp has 95,000 miles, and i have never serviced the trans... i know
not a single piece of metal and a few deposits on the magnet, but very pleased. the pan was still very clean and everything was perfect with no signs of damage or wear or anything.
put the shift kit in and she shifts much smoother now and downshifts are amazing!

i know for 95,000 miles and never changing the fluid... i am very happy. im going to forever change my tranny fluid every 40,000 miles or so after seeing how dirty that fluid was.

with tapshift i really dont notice that much of a diffrence, but i notice ALOT with automatic because there is no lag
