Message Update...

So today I visited my local shop and we raised the Z on a lift to check the tranny fluid level to diagnose my recent no reverse gear symptom. (thinking it might be low)
Amazingly the Redline MT-90 in it was up to the fill hole!! Very Clean too. No need to drain it. $70 on MT-90 gallon jug is going back to Amazon.
Last time I changed it was about 18yrs (50k miles) ago.

Sooo, must be internal. Never had it overheat, always have had fluid in it! Maybe a clip spring internally?
I'll take it over to PitsStop Performance soon without a tow needed as 1-5 gears work.

Oh, on a side note.
The Z passed emissions flying colors a few weeks ago...!!
Checking my original exhaust I saw the mid 'H' pipe has a 1 inch hole and the other side is completely cut/broken off!!
So I was laughing hard that it even passed in AZ!! LOL

Thnx!
