So what is the difference in these two trans? I like this combo, just wish it got better mileage. Is the my6 an aluminum case...

    Thanks guys for your info. Ive done everything suggested, more and no success. A guy at napa told me to fill with coolant, warm engine then bleed, let cool and that this could take 5/6 or more times. All day!? I'm gonna keep at it, wish me luck. Thanks again, Muley
