Do a _HOT_ tranny service , ATF & filter change , the torque converter has a 5 MM hex plug you remove to drain it too , then use either Dexron or Mercedes ATF , many Partshaus sell this special ATF afordably , Pep Boys , Kragen , Shuck's etc. will only have Dexron .
Remember to clean everything _HOSPITAL_CLEAN_ before re assembly and do not use linty rags as one tiny bit of lint can ruin your tranny .
Use Dexron in the power steering too , it's nasty and black , I know this and have not seen your car yet .
