If the tag is gooped up with grease, don't clean it off with a solvent. You could wash off any printed i.d. info, if it has any.

Is that the trans that was slipping on you, and probably burning up the clutches? For what you're going to save, it's not worth the chance of still having grit in the fluid once you're done. Not to mention, the cost of replacing your nylons (we're don't ask, don't tell here)! Treat the new tranny to some new fluid.

lol, I know, you've gone through so many tranny's, I lost track. If you're convinced to go that route, be sure to use the panty hose with the cotton panel. If it's good enough for.....eh never mind!! lmao. But still, I'd go with new fluid.
