[Shotimes] Tranny flush

I change the filter every other flush.

I'm thinking about hopping up my TDI. 200 HP and 300 ft lb of torque out of
1.9 liters while still getting over 40 MPG appeals to me.

You said you change fluid every 30K.  How about the screen?

Also Paul, I know you have a Jetta.  Wanted to tell you I saw a silver one
here in Palm Beach that was tricked out and had the word "turbo" in script
on the back of the car.  It sounded like a bee fart.  I'm sure it goes
fast.  He didn't want to play.
