88rover Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Ok like the title states I bought a 97 banshee 1 owner. Only thing done to it is ported heads and jets and he removed the baffles. So i got 2 baffles and a bag of jets. He only used ams oil. so he says. So I have been reading different topics and have a lot of questions. I want to change all fluids, I bought a repair manual, to help me out. I want to change coolant, trans oil. I read regular coolant 50/50 mix. On the trans fluid I read some use 10w30 some use atf+4 some use gear lube what is the main benefit to each? or member recombination? when refilling the coolant do you guys suggest waterwetter or purple ice or any other additive? The big question is there any thing I should do? any must do mods? Thanks for any and all advice. also I want to upgrade the suspension as I am not a small guy, reconditions? I want to be fast on the trails . I will post some pictures later . Edited February 24, 2012 by 88rover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
