Default That reminds me, thanks.
I should go put some Klasse on mine, so it's pre-done before installation. Then put them on when I get the car back from the trans shop.

Default Re: $40 at the dealer.
Are replacements better designed than the older yellowish double vision types?

Default Didn't realize tranny issues got to that point. What is diagnosis? Hunting issues, etc.
Same as my D2, back when.

Default Heck, I can make the clutches slip.
It's just time.

It was driveable, but it's just time.
