Anyways, fluids were all done around 8k ago. But I will look into trans fluid & torque converter

I've had pretty experienced drivers/mechanics tell me that it's way cheaper and safer (for the engine) to replace brake pads from overuse than trying to figure out, possibly expensive, transmission issues.
