    2008 XLR Neither door will open from inside or outside?

    Compression test procedure

    Be sure to get the proper trans fluid with all the additives in it. Last tsb from gm changed what was called for in the owners manual using 12378261 with 88900330 limited slip additive. I think it now calls for 88862624 dextron ls. There are dozens of similiar priducts.
