Has it ever gotten fresh fluid? also it will generate more heat if your screen is getting clogged, they are cheap to replace but they are also reusable so you could just clean it. It wouldn't hurt it to have it flushed and filled with some Diamond SP and a new or cleaned screen. It's a cheap gamble compared to a transmission, worst case you have new fresh fluid and a filter which isn't a bad thing.


It had a flush / new fluid about 5 years ago. It hasn'T seen much driving time since then as its a utility / fun vehicle and not a DD. Also, it got sick and was parked for about a year.

I notice that when the light comes on, I can sit in idle for a few mins and the light goes off. That makes me think it is not a faulty sensor, unfortunately.

I'll check the fluid again and make sure it's still pink. If it is, then I can change / clean the screen without dumping the fluid? I thought you had to drop the pan to get to anything.
