The stuff on the drain plug is normal. Looks like it's been in there a while. The Cap'n

My transmission works fine--for the first 5-10 minute of driving. Then, as the car gets hotter, the gears get harder to find. Experts here said it might be time to add some fluid. I suspect that this car has never had its gear oil changed. I hope this helps!
I just cleaned off the plug and I laughed. I thought the thing must be dome shaped! Ha, it has a little magnetic rod in the middle. The entire dome was made of little bit of gears. GHB |
