    mines a 99 with 56k, but I have had the tranny flushed 3 times already, and I only use fully synthetic tranny fluid, mobil one or royal purple, so I know my tranny is in "pretty" good shape.

    '01, 74,000 miles, original radiator & tranny
    All fluids switched to Royal Purple at 65,000 miles, including flushing tranny twice to maximize synthetic.

    I know we don't have a tranny dipstick on the 3.5L. Is that detailed procedure for checking the ATF level the only way to get to the fluid? I at least want to try to see if there's any burnt smell.
