Thanks for the info!
The guy I bought it from said he drained and refilled tranny and it didn't help. I don't know if he had engine running when he filled it. I asked him if he cleaned or changed screen and he said no. He said his tranny guy that he uses told him it was a waste of time.

I will first chk. fluid level. Do you think I should do screen if fluid is okay? assuming there is a screen ....(this is my first VX) I have been looking for one for a year and a half! I am really anxious to drive it!!!! Its 21 degrees here right now and I don't have a garage so I'm not as motivated to crawl under there as I would be if it were a little warmer.

Thanks again, Pete
