Ok will do. Would it be a good idea to flush it and then replace it with the atf+4? And master tech exactly what codes would I be looking for and what are the good codes and bad ones? Where can I go to get the tcm checked out? And what is the difference of using the overdrive?

The only good code is battery disconnect. Any others are not good. Once you have pulled the codes out of the tcm, send a pm to me or bad venge. Or you can post it too. Overdrive is for fuel mileage.
