Yeah thats what I was doing about a month ago. I got under there to do a mid pipe swap and noticed trans fluid all over the tranny. wasn't sure where it was comin from. So i decided to change it. When I took the cover off, the top of the shifter was all oilly. Thick with oil. I didn't understand why? So i filled it with 3 quarts. I guess I'll do it again to be on the safe side and use that rtv. Do I have to let it set before I replace the shifter? or just put it on right after? Any suggestions on what I could clean all the sludge off with? I may also need to replace the transmission mounts? They are all soaked, will that cause a problem? I notice alot of vibration from the shifter when cruising.
