Getting the TL running smooth.....

I am somewhat new here, been lurking for a long time, posting for just a few months.

I cant thank everyone here enough, so much good DIYs and information and helpful people here.

Last week I completed Seafoaming my engine, engine filter change, and plug change.

Today I completed oil and filter change, and started the 3 x 3 ATF change. I completed 2 drain and fills with 2 test drives after. Going to finish the 3rd drain and fill wed.

I just bought this car used 4 months ago or so, and it is driving so much better than it was, and it was driving good already.

First impression is its shifting much better, but still have a little jump in it. hoping it will work out. May have to do the 3rd and 4th gear pressure switch change (already planning on it).

but Thanks to everyone that contributes here, its greatly appreciated.

the correct drive for 3x3 is 5 minutes slowly,, using each gear up and down- including N and P
you are moving old fluid forward to the drain by pushing it out of selenoids and the convertor

drive more than that and all you do is mix old and new together, which is not the same as replacing old with new
