Lots of horror stories with the trans flush. Just replace the fluid, and think about an accessory cooler and filter. You're in for a surprise with the wires, as this car has a coil on plug set up, and a set runs about $400+. If there are no misfires, or idle problems shine that part of the "tuneup" on. :cool: Welcome, and get ready for a lot of reading. Premium fuel is specified.

If the car does not have a tranny cooler, that should be added. Another thing that will help is a tranny filter. Good luck. :)

use the "search" feature of the Network...you'll find plenty of threads dealing with trans coolers - part numbers, how to install, etc.
