As far as I'm concerned, the edit button is just jthere and you must have missed it (I've never asked for it, so assumed it was a default part of the forum).

I did write that before I saw Sam's post (and your reply about not having an edit button) and I was being a bit of a smart **** - sorry, beer talking
No worries been on multiple car forums, it happens.

By the way they fixed it now I have the "edit" button Woo Hoo! Winning! LoL

Well did the lubegard platinum add via the top transmission line. Used small funnel, not a bad job. Wait and see how it works.

A funnel to a transmission line? Wouldn't you pump it in through the pan while the engine is running?

On the drivers side of the radiator there are two lines that press in, held by small Allen bolt. I removed the line that runs to the top, hard line with extra bolt half way down for support. Pulled line back and can put funnel into line and put you 10 oz in funnel and let gravity do the rest. Only lost a few drops of fluid. Took 100 mile trip and I think the shifts are smoother, might be wishful thinking. I'll give it a week and report back.
