Seems like it was over 6 months before he posted a response to comment made 2 years prior, and now ~2.5 years later you bring it back with a sarcastic post? Really? 🤣🤣🤣

Re: Removing park lock cable from steering column?

Re: Major transmission issues after servicing (automatic)

Drop the pan and check the filter, sounds like it wasn't installed properly and came loose. Did the old filter have the seal on it? Maybe it's double sealed and caused the filter to fall off.
