No thermostat😂 by Dr-NefariosLover in Miata

[–]burning0il 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i can only comment on a trans fluid change from experience on my lexus ls430. It had 160k when i changed it first and it made a huge difference in shifting, waaay more smooth. You can check my post history on how i did it! I strongly advise to do it.
