    Success!

    Went to local tranny shop with Mobil One synthetic ATF and had them change out fluid and filter. Shifting is smooth and no more hesitation. Dodged that potential bullet!

    if you dont mind me asking how much for fluid and filter change? did you have them flush or just change? for the pros: could i do a filter change and fluid change safely at home myself?

    I brought my own synthetic ATF. Total deal was $150 with new filer. Cross member bar was a bitch to get off.

    Yeah, those eight bolts holding it to the frame rails can really get rusty above the weldnuts inside the mounting brackets. With no way to get to them in there, heat is your only friend...and possibly a lucky shot of rust release through one of the several holes that allow all that sand and moisture in there in the first place!
