Re: Updated Transmission Oil Video (While Car is "Moving")

Madmax, Did you raise the front of the car to level ? If the car is level you may see a little more oil on the brake band...I am really glad you made these video's it proved to me that the screen is necessary and I am glad I enlarged the holes and may even make them larger....thanks rl
