My neighbor had his transmission system flushed by a very reputable well known independent shop in our community. His Yukon never shifted the same after that. He regrets having the flush done. He said he should have just drained the fluid and put new fluid in with new filter. Seems kind of risky?

That's why I was just going to go through a method that pumps all the fluid out of the transmission and then refill it. It isn't a flush because its not putting the entire system under pressure, it is done entirely by taking the tube that goes from the transmission to the radiator and running the engine which gets everything out.

I need to just get the damn transmission fluid changed since I think 13 years is long enough and my shifts are absolutely horrible in the cold, but that may be coming since now I have a month off of school for winter break and my dad is going to be home for a while to take it since his friend works at a gas station with 2 lifts and he can probably get it done much faster. As for mods, I'm thinking of some clear front side markers. Pricey, but not really anyone get's them anymore. I also got all 5000K LEDs from V-LEDs and I think they look great. I do want those side mirrors with the turn signals and puddle lights, but I can't justify that cost and hassle for installation just for me to have them. But if something happens to one of my current mirrors, that logic goes out the window 
. Also need to take it for an alignment/tire rotation this week, just need to call up some places and see how much. But I don't think it was that expensive when I went to get my ECM reprogrammed at the dealer

I finally got the car cleaned up and took some nice pics, go check them out in this thread. Here are some teasers!
And Jnco are those wheels 16s or 17s, those would work great if they were 17s for my purposes.
Im still too cool and looking for wheels, so dont hate.
Here it is currently with the DD lurking in the background, in need of some trans fluid, exhaust, mild tune, and better wheels:
Here are the best looking shots i have of the car:
The car is running for those that were wondering, im just finishing up the lose ends.

ok yea my brakes where the issue, the Z32s wont fit under them. They look great thou, I know the BMW use 17" RS styled BBS but you have to buy adapters to use them and that can get messy.

My 2000 i30... 124k... Black/Black.
First I slammed the living hell out of it...
Then I realized how ridiculous it was and that I couldnt daily it that way...
My headlights were bad, but one was really shot. So today I restored them.

Just since I did a thorough cleaning yesterday. Which was wash with Meguiars Gold Class wash/conditioner, Meguiars SwirlX, Cleaner Wax, Quick Detailer, and Endurance Tire Shine. Interior was Meguiars Gold Class leather cleaner/ conditioner and Interior Detailer, and Eagle One glass cleaner. Clear front side markers may be coming in the near future.

MaxMike93, That thing looks great. I haven't spent a whole lot of time on my exterior yet. I bought my 02 in early October 2012 and have focused on the interior every now and then and I've been washing it somewhat often... The winters here can be hard and I don't have anywhere to wash it by hand beside the local do it yourself and that's timed.

I've done that once on my car (I've helped my friends doing their cars at the same place) but at least the one that I used had a lot. They have low and high pressure rinse, high pressure soap, a 'soapy' brush, tire cleaner, wax, and conditioner. Although I avoid the conditioner since it left a purple color on my paint all over. Luckily some of the Meguiars Cleaner Wax took it right off wherever it was.
Sometimes when I'm really lazy I will run the car through the local full service wash where they wash and vacuum it. I had to pick up my sister in law at Ohare Airport in Chicago about 2.5 hours away. So I stopped at the car wash and picker her up. She's been in Prague for 2 years so she hasn't seen my Infiniti. Well I picker her up and she was like "what kind of car is this?" I told her Infiniti, in which she replied "It's so clean and nice, when did you get it?" that went on. Man she really dug the car. She's a hottie too!
My car has been great so far, I've only gotten around 24 mpg though which I suppose is fairly good for the car.

It got a few off eBay, but the majority I have are from VLEDs.com. I got a lot from there since I am picky about having pure white (5000k) white in my beige interior. Some are a little pricey, but they are phenomenal, at least in my experiences. If you PM me I can send you a list of all the bulbs types you'll need and what bulbs design works well in each application IMO.
