i have those #1 sleeve and springs from NOPI... it didnt do until a month later i installed them... if i make a slow left or right and have to turn the steering wheel all the way to the left or right is where most of the noise is coming from

I changed my transmission oil and filter. Boy was that fun!
There is a filter for the tranny fluid??(uhm) I wasn't aware there was one. Or are you talking about your air filter?

Yah a breaker bar is a must for that job, plus it is something no tuner should be without!
yes sir!! its like a little plastic box. the kit i bought at Advance Auto Parts had the transmission gasket and filter together for $20. I took some pics of the work i did, I just haven't had the chance to post any up. i'll try to get it done today.

Where on the transmission is the filter located? I changed my tranny fluid this summer and was not aware that there was a filter you needed to change with it. Do you have an automatic or manual transmission??
Almost there Jeff.
Man, I'm still in the low 70s. This 10 minute commute is killing me. On the plus side, I'll be putting about 1000 miles on her this week driving to the 24 Hours of Daytona and back

Dang, my cars only got 45,000 on the ticker. Wife's has 35,000. Both 03's
Gonna have my local mechanic swap out my front motor mount for the AWR under warranty!(rockon) Found my paperwork. I've got a full Service Contract on the car! Swapping the front mount with my already purchased AWR, and, having him check out the rest of the mounts to possibly replace with new OEM mounts. Also, gonna have him check out my idle. Told him about the possible EGR valve. May get a new one of those too! Also gonna have him check out my creeking and popping coming from the front suspension somewhere. Not sure if it's endlinks, or joints. Find out soon enough

Here's a shot of the kit and the oil I used.

here's a shot of the inside w/o the filter (i should have taken a closer shot)
and here's a shot of the new filter in

That does, Thanks for going into great detail! I will have to change my tranny fluid again when it gets warmer and do this.
