'93 900S NA, AT, 220k mi. Orig transmission, so I am aware that I'm livbing on borrowed time. Trans is slipping but fluid changed 3x and on the mark. Replaced trans filter 5 k ago and all has made some improvement. One oddity is that the transmission will almost invariably slip out in the course of a left turn from stop (i.e., at low speed). In searching the board for clues I came across an old post by s.martin that claims that the grommet on the filter is packaged upside down and must be inverted upon installation.
I can't find any other mention of this "feature" and before I drop the pan to inspect I thought I'd survey the collective wisdom on the board. Any pointers/tips greatly appreciated.
