My suggestion omitted any "flushing"...so if the fluid looks anything  
like the goo that came out of the tranny in the pics....follow Prof  
GT's suggestion and flush till clean....Dex3 is compatable with at  
least Mobil 1, so you might want to flush with that as it's cheaper.   
On that note, I looked up Dexron Wiki, and found that the original  
Dexron(that was "filled for life" in our trannys used Sperm Whale Oil  
as a friction modifier!....Dex 2 used Johoba oil.....What does Sperm  
Whale Oil become 22 yrs later?....not sure, but it's probably in that  
filter.  Tom
