How does the fluid look and smell? If it's brown and smells like garbage (more stinky than normal auto trans. fluid) it probably needs to be flushed.

the way it is said on the youtube vid
i read in a diff. spot that i could put it in neutral and then set it with no slack?
also if this is any help it seems like when it would be time to shift if i let off the gas and then push it again it seems like it slips at first?
