Default Just fixed convertible top problem on 2001

I am so excited. I just fixed a problem I had been having on my 2001 GT Conv. The top was not going up anymore and it would go down super fast. I FINALLY go the bottom section of my seat out and then it was gravy from there. Refilled the motor with Merc 3 transmission fluid. Capped it. Then worked like new. It sure was a chore trying to figure out how to get the fluid into the hole without making a mess of everything.

I had one side that would start up, then the other would catch up, then it would take forever for it to go up. It would go down super-fast.
