    Unknown Rattle Noise

    Exhaust Rattle Here is a simplle fix for a rattle noise heard around the transmission tunnel/shifter area at around 800-2000 rpm. Refer to Ford TSB 06-4-1, this fix places simple hose clamps around the two pipe hangers at the transmission cross member, this effectively dampens the rattle.

    Auto Tranny Service

    As everyone knows the auto tranny has no dipstick and is sealed. The dealer told me every 30K miles the tranny should be flushed via the cooler. Has anyone done this, is it a sound method, how is the fluid level checked once flushed?

    Has anyone changed out there stock H13 lamps for the aftermarket high performance bulbs, I normally use Slyvannia H13 Silverstar but have also seen ones made by Luminics which have 130 W (5000 deg K) light output. Would the brighter/hotter Luminics lamp damage the headlamp? :SNSign:

    Tranny service question

    So the auto tranny never needs service or fluid change? The service manual states service every 30K miles for other tranny's, so the 5R55S is unique and rugged enough to not need routine service??
