Hey Mike, add me to the list!

First it was the global springs you researched, installed and promoted, which helped tremendously in ride quality and now the fitzstick.

I just want to thank you for all the hard work, time and effort you put into this product. Great job!

I will, thank you very much!

Yeah, the Global springs were my first adventure here think, when I found out ebay goofed up on the international shipping, I had to spread the word about how cheap they were.

Finally got around to installing mine today. It would have gone faster if I had smaller tools, but I was able make do with my full sized ratchet. Just had to find and make use of available gaps and angles.
I spent way too much time figuring out that the engine mounted bracket was NOT a 10mm. I could not figure out why I was wrenching away and getting no where. No, it requires an 8mm socket now.
Other that that, this is indeed a high quality piece of workmanship. The packaging was above average. Just update instructions requiring an 8mm socket up top.

Yeah, I send out the info in a message, but I do have to update the instructions, I'm almost done, I haven't taped closed the boxes on the new dipsticks yet as they are all waiting on printed instructions, I have to print out almost 700 pages, staple them, bag them and they are ready to ship out.

I'm glad you got it installed okay?

Installed mine months ago but finally got around to installing PPE aluminum pan yesterday. Removing the fluid through the dipstick with a hand transfer pump from Harbor Freight was A little bit of a pain Next time I’ll use a 12 V pump, but still easier than taking a shower of ATF.. When I pulled the pan, there was barely any fluid left in it and checking the fluid after filling was also easy thanks to the Fitzstick. Thanks again, Mike for all your hard work on this project made this job that much easier.

The packaging was high quality, including the instructions in a protective envelope. The fit up was a piece of cake. You beat so many others in quality.

Nice job. Did you reinstall your heat shields? A very high quality pan.

I'm having the dealer pump out and replace my transmission fluid while they replace my failed AC box.

After the service writer's comments about aftermarket pans voiding warranties we'll see if they pitch a fit over the dipstick. I don't know what the replacement procedure for the fluid is precisely although he used the term backflushing.

They disconnect the transmission lines and flush out the fluid, then refill, the pan does not come off.

Some people do not like that type of service because the filter does not get changed, but it does flush the converter.

At the dealer we used to offer the customer an additional service, with the flush machine we had, it would empty the trans after the flush, then we would drop the pan change the filter and clean the pan before the refill.

The tech should be happy about the extended stick!
