What did you do in your garage today..?

Last year I pulled the tranny out of mine and turned it upside down and drained it. Then I refilled it with the proprietary JD fluid recommended. It's over 20 years old. So far so good.

Thanks. Mine's a K46 so I'll likely pull it apart again in the Fall if it makes it through the Summer and see what's in there that looks in need of replacement. Good to see someone else has serviced theirs with success.
No help from JD on it as it's labelled as a sealed unit but some light digging shows many people including me can easily do a drain and fill with a better (synthetic) fluid to make it last longer but not much info on actually repairing them.

If it is slipping the chances are it needs the piston valve block and port plate lapped. Any scratches and it will slip. On mine it was actually the motor side that was deeply scored the pump side had a bit of wear but much less than the motor. Feel free to message me when it is apart if you need help.

After having an airbag jack, I would never get another hydraulic one again. Convenience aside, I really like that the airbags lift the vehicle straight up. I've never liked that the hydraulic ones all radius up based on the pivot point.
 
I have a bad habit of throwing parts at problems... Did it on my gsxr by replacing the fuel filter/housing, and cleaning out my tank (oh well at least it should idle/run well). Checked my plugs today and they were sootie/black along with the connection on the boots; cleaned boots and replaced plugs. Since I was there i should check my battery it cranks below 10.5V...
