Wish I hadn't bought the car now. Tranny shifts fine, though concerned the internal filter is full of more **** than should otherwise have.
My thinking is no oil change-internal filter blocks- oil starvation- tranny f k d Being the cause of most failures we read about with these transmissions.
Love my mondy but wish I'd taken more due diligence. No point crying over it now.

According to the ATSG service information there is an internal sump filter.
I guess its a coarse filter to pick up relatively large particles before the fluid is pumped to the external filter.
This would be required to prevent the fluid pump from eating plastic or metal shards from component failure.
On that basis I wouldn't think dirty fluid would be a problem for the internal sump filter.
