If you have to do the figure 8's on a regular basis to stop chatter, you either need new fluid or you have bigger problems. The figure 8 process is a once and done deal.
Good points XOH....but I'm sure your well aware that the rice crispy rears are well known throughout the C-6 world. Many of them have gone many miles without ever addressing the issue. Just because one snaps and pops doesn't mean that its going south and has issues...other than the annoying sound. As mentioned I'm on my 4th brand of fluid now including the new GM brew once. Nothing has gotten rid of the crackle completely, but its down to a whimper. Every time I check the drain plug its as clean as a babies behind and the fluid is cleaner than fresh brewed white lightning so I'm not gonna assume that the rear end has bigger problems just yet....LOL.
