Thanks for all your help throughout this Joe, and everyone else too.
It is very frustrating, mainly because I want to be confident enough to do work on my VX at home, to save money AND to make sure she is properly taken care of. However, it was an experience like this that leaves me saying to myself, "What the h3ll and I doing?".
Anyway, now I understand 100% more why my buddy was surprised at the "no dipstick" issue. I really hope I am in the clear now. The last thing I want to do is burn up my tranny this weekend.
Uggg.

It's frustrating to try and make something that's easy to build, easy to understand, user friendly and light on the wallet.
In any case, welcome to the "4L30E Club". We're a grumpy bunch, and deservedly so!
Hopefully the additional volume of fluid will take care of the hard shifts.
