*I thought I would add this...as I found a video on youtube speaking about how actually flushing and changing out the transmission fluid on a regular schedule was actually good for the truck, and how the people who have been saying to reuse the old fluid because they were having problems, were mostly people who didn't ever change their fluid, and then were having problems, changed it, and because they had let it go and get so nasty, that the new fluid cleaned everything out, and that clogged other things, and then they had a worse problem. So, clean it as preventative maintenance like they say, and you shouldn't have that problem. You can also flush it from the radiator intake pipe on near the top of your radiator on the side. 

This is a comment from a pro...

As an automatic transmission repair shop owner operator, I can tell you this. The vast majority of people do not service their transmission when they should or even ever. The people who experience failures after a flush were the same ones who did the flush because they were already experiencing problems and wanted it to fix their issues. Transmission fluid is a great cleaning agent and when you send it through a transmission that has large amounts of sediment throughout, it can break it loose and send it into valves that have no tolerance for it. Fluid changes are preventative maintenance, not a recipe for disaster. Do it! Look in your owner's manual and find what the intervals are. You don't want to find yourself towed to my shop, it's rarely inexpensive.

If someone knows how to remove a broken bolt that can only be reached at an angle with no room for most drills and tools, please let me know. [email protected] thanks.
