    Also service the electrical connector on the trans they are known for leaking trans fluid

    New spark plugs, clean out the throttle body and the mass air flow sensor. I bet it sounds a lot better. Careful w the egr valve o ring if you do.

    I’m having trouble finding a trans dipstick for an 2009 3.5 AWD. I figured that shouldn’t really mean anything, but the folks at AZ and Oreileys said differently. But then again they’re the same people that tried to sale me an engine oil dipstick for the trans.

    Thanks for the info. I read a ton of comments and your replies to them answered many questions I had. I got a question that will probably answer itself when i climb under the car at some point. When you change the fluid is there any kind of drain plug or Do you remove the pan? Also is there a transmission filter that i can replace (if so is external or inside the pan like most designs)?
