thanks guys for all your help. as you can see iam not a mechanic.i do know a littel ,be it VERY little. lol.coming here i have learned some.it helps. i was unaware you had to shift the trany through the gears before checking.ill try that.
its not a foam but maybe four or five bubbles in the fluid.
the tranny seems to run fine.somtimes it does shift harder then others but nothing that doesnt seem out of the ordinary.no slipping etc.
thanks again.
