I wouldnt waste your time. I would go right away and have your tranny fluid flushed and changed.

You dont wanna screw up your transmission.

Its recommended but you dont have to. If the trans has over 100,000 miles on it and its never been done, I wouldnt even touch the fluid. Chances are that's what's holding it together.

This is very true. I used to rebuild trannys. New oil will clean out all the sludge and varnish, and then it will start leaking oil.

We use the BG chemicals and flush at my shop, with the machines. But we won't do one that has a whole lot of miles on the oil.

In these cases, I'd just do it the old fashion way, and change the filter, and reload with oil. You'll only be changing 2.5 qts that way.

so its not good to change the oil of the tranny if its been 100k miles well my car has about 109798miles on it and i dont know if the original owner ever changed it so the best for me is to just change filter and reload on oil..

my car runs fine now and the temperature is in the 30s to 40s. i think it didn't shift right because it was so cold. some days it got to 30 below zero. i'll just do a drain and fill and see what happens
