I'll admit it. I don't know jack shit about cars, except for the basics. My transmission has been running a bit hard lately, and I've considered flushing the trans and getting some new fluid...

will this help??

    How is it running rough? Is it when you're accelerating? Does it just slip or shift a little while you're driving?

    auto or manual??

    its not leaking? low fluid levels will make it shift klunky. or it might need a new filter if thats old and clogged up - both simple fixes

    do you not have a friend aroud who knows a bit about cars? or is related to someone who does?

    yeah, or sometimes it just decides not to shift...but it's nothing like 'holy shit!' rough, I just notice it at low speeds...and when I'm accelerating getting on the highway

    What other towns have those addresses? :p

    I lived in Salt Lake for 3 winters, bailed right before the Olympics. I think the place was called the Bug Inn or something.
