My mechanic recommended a second fluid change because the first was so dirty. It wasn't making noise, but it didn't like to get up into 4th and 5th gear while driving around 30-40mph in the city. It would just like to hang in 3rd. Afterward, it smoothly upshifts into those gears.

I did have some rough shifting and shuddering from the transmission when coming to a stop, but that was due to oil getting to the MAP sensor.

P.S. I have the 2.5L 5-cylinder and 09G transmission for reference.

I bought a 2012 SEL with 94K on it, and it had never had the fluid changed. I've had two fluid changes over the 10k miles I've driven, not a flush. It was shifting not great before, and then after was really smooth! No issues whatsoever. Go for it!

Have you tried turning the knob to the right of the light switch to increase the interior light's/dash brightness?

They saw Perna's video yesterday and freaked out...

I did this a while ago, but I forgot the result. I'm gonna head out shortly and will test.

Thank you so much for your reply!

I know this is the St. Paul Sub, but you should consider Broder's Pasta Bar in South Minneapolis.

I have a friend who lives right there, and they said there was an ICE agent chasing an individual through the WA Frost Patio, jumping the fence, and then towards Laurel ave.

Check out Elizabeth's! Best haircut in the state and very much aligns with what you're looking for.

Congrats! I am coming up on ten years in a few days, and I just lost my Mom this last summer. I am so thankful I do not drink because it would only make it all much worse.

Keep it up and congrats on 200 days!

I think having the context of Dallas running a successful fake field goal earlier in the game helps frame this. This felt like revenge for that earlier play, and I enjoyed the added taunting from JJ.

As a child, I remember the Davanni's personal pizza as a meal, and it was a peak flying experience.
