Okay, I'm sold on changing the tranny fluid to red line... but... some
questions.
 I know I can order it.  What about finding it in chicago?  And, regarding
the actual change, is it pretty stratiforward?  Make sure I can get the
filler cap open, drain it out, and fill'er back up? (to the top?) I guess
I need a funnel and hose for the filling...
thanks,
wes
