I think some people on here still have their original transmission and they're at about 140k plus. I used to recommend the entire atf/filter job but am thinking about sticking with just a filter change because of past posts I have read about 2nd or 3rd atf changes resulting in rebuilds. I would ask Tozo for his advice, I've seen him recommend just filter changes.

I am changing mine at 40K original miles , and will contine to every 30K from here on out. - skiracer 2008-08-21 05:46:10 (104 views)

Same here at 33k intervals. - ryoung 2008-08-21 06:43:46 (56 views)

That's what I was thinking. Since his transmission is practically new, I'd say go for it now. - Push That Tush 2008-08-21 06:38:05 (82 views)

Read the back of the bottle of that "lifetime" fluid ... - ryoung 2008-08-22 11:56:30 (96 views)

So maybe it's wise to change your ATF every 3 years regardless of mileage? - JMohn 2008-08-22 13:25:50 (54 views)

This is an interesting bit of info on fluid levels - CalG 2008-08-21 14:49:12 (88 views)

Low fluid level will not give warning. - tozoM8 2008-08-21 16:53:17 (86 views)

Fluid pressure fluctuation - CalG 2008-08-21 17:26:37 (65 views)

Yes, it can. 3 years ago the second gear in my tranny went out because of pressure fluctuation. - tozoM8 2008-08-21 17:48:44 (81 views)
