you pull the transmission fluid pan, pull the filter and put a new one in. Put the pan back on and then fill it back up.

so just like changing the oil but this is tranny fluid.... ok
well what about the rest of the fluids?!?

If you don't own a Chilton's or Haynes manual then it will be the best 30 bucks you ever spent.

I would use something like this, http://store.summitracing.com/partd...792788+4294782796+4294782770+115&autoview=sku

Or even better, but most people opt to go a cheaper route with the B&M and other copper tube and fin coolers. They work fine, adequetly at least, but it's the type of thing you can't have too much of. I really can't emphasize it enough, change your fluid and keep it cool and the thing will last for damn near ever.

Wow, i wouldn't mind having one or two of those... one for trans and the other for the oil. That would so drop some engine temps.

well the reason i say that is because that's why you have to let you car "warm up" because the oil is like syrup and you have to let it warm up and circulate until it's kinda like the thickness of water in a sense haha...
or i could be wrong?!

I have 98 cobras sitting on 245s right now, ran over some nails or something and got a flat. My 95 Cobra Rs are sitting in the garage. My uncle from NY has a 98 cobra that he bought from my uncle that lives here near me and he left the rims and tires at my house when he went back to NY so I put them on my car until I get new tires.
