ok well basically my slant six is coming out around June to under go inspection/possible re build. anyways while its out i want to service my transmission. i haven't done this before and im not sure how to start when i do. what would be a good direction to go in?

What means "service"? It's working well and not leaking, and you just want to do routine maintenance on it? It's got leaks, it's got shifting problems? What's the fluid look/smell like?

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

it does leak enough to were i would have to fill it up about a quart or so. the shifts from park to drive or reverse to drive feel as if they could be described as "hard". (not too good at describing it all) but yes general maintenance would probably be a good start. i havent tried smelling the trans fluid yet. also during the hot weather in summer i would have to check atleast weekly because it went through alot more in the heat. in the winter it didnt seem to as much. not sure why

Last summer i did my first 904 rebuild. Just follow the service manual that is posted as a sticky in this forum step by step. If you are patient it isn't that difficult.

I used a ATP master rebuild kit and new bands. It shifts a lt better now

alright ill give that a look and print it out probably. thanks for the info.
