You've pretty much covered just about everything.

How many miles are on the 535?

Take care of that transmission. Drain and fill it.

Invest in a nice transfer pump so you can easily drain and fill it often as you like.

It has a hair over 100k maybe 103 tranny feels smooth and no codes come up for not with my Carly adaptor. I am getting a code for the fuel pump and water pump and rain sensor and something ac related . Anyone has issues with he charge pipe fitting. No matter what i do it w ok my fit correctly.

If your transmission has 100,000 miles on it, that box should have had two transmission services (one at 50,000 miles, one at 100,000 miles).

When you don't do it, this forum will come in handy when you need to rebuild the valve body and replace the solenoids.
