Why do the ATF hoses come into play when you drain/refill? How about
using the drain plug?
The U250E, like many other U-series transmission, suffer from ****ft
problems. IMO the older A-series, while dirtier, was more reliable.
After driving highway speeds and decelerating the U250E may exhibit a
harsh 5-4 ****ft.
Get a new ****ft solenoid free before the powertrain warranty expires!!
