Default Re: Hi 1st Time Owner Here!!

Address your last comment first. The seats are chair like and at least for me, pretty comfortable. They don't have padding, pads and bolsters that sport seats have because the original intension of the cruiser was to "cruise", not to take corners like a race track.

My invoice for the tranny flush says 16 quarts of SYN/Fluid @ $4 per qt. plus 1 can of Flush @ $24. I watched the person doing it and instead of bringing all the containers of ATF+4, he had two brown boxes with red synthetic fluid with ATF/SYN written on the side. When I asked if it was ATF+4, he said it was the +5 synthetic.

Now when they do the "flush", the can of flush which they run through the transaxle is supposed to clean the filter as they don't drop the pan & filter during the flush. I didn't like that.

The next day I had them drop the pan and replace the filter. I had to pay for the labor, 4 more qts of +5, black adhesive (they used that to seal up the pan instead of a gasket) and hazardous waste disposal, but I felt better with having it done.
