Mine was showing problems before it went south. But it seems the slipping comes shortly after changing the fluid, I think most of these cases the transmission is already nearing failure and the fluid change pushses it over the edge

I am going at it an hour a day to retain my sanity, undid the exhaust last night after repeatedly spraying the bolts on Sunday. Tonight comes taking it down and removing the swaybar. Also hoping to remove the fr. drive shaft and disconnect the rear one. Might take some pics as I go along but most of this is doucmented. Perhaps the actual disassembly is not documented that well and I might post some pics in a separate thread of the D/A and re-assembly.

RRPhil, Thanks for that heads-up. Any idea if the Torque-converter is also prone to failure or should I replace as a precaution?
