Its been a long time....I shouldnt have left you......lol
hows it been family? Havent been on here in ages but....hey....I need help!
who better?

anyway....my 04 X just turned 96,000....never had to do the tune up on it before but its acting funny with me now. I think its trying to punish me for not driving it like I used to.
first things first.....

1. I bought sparkplugs last night for the first time for both my cars. Bought ngk lasers for my m35....bought bosch iridium 9600s for my xfire....should i have bought the ngk iridium IXs? Some say stick with bosch/german cars (i tend to agree) some say stick with ngk/Japanese cars. which is better? Im having a rough time settling on my $85 bosch purchase from oriellys. Whats the oem plugs?

2. What fuel filter is best? I cant find a bosch anywhere.....

3. So my tranny is acting funny. (Automatic trans) going from about 1 to 3 I could feel this weird little movement In the shifter. Just a slight movement. Then all of a sudden I started being able to tell I had a lack of performance. Now theres a hard downshift from 3rd or so when coming to a stop. The trans shop a while back said the fluid was in need of changing so I scheduled a change and filter swap. Could this solve my issue or am I doomed? I need to know the best fluid and filter for that as well.

My baby is running really sluggish and I have had to put my foot on the floor sometimes just to get around the idiots on the freeway.....this cant happen. I plan on keeping it. But if its going to give me issues (spoiled brat talk.....I never had any before) ....then she can go! Lol
