Tomaz,
I have 100K in the clock and about to have my step 4.4i transmission oil and filter changed, but one guy said in a different thread, and i quote: "You need to be careful with changing the fluid on Automatics with 100,000 miles though. Sometimes changing the fluid on high mileage automatics makes for problems that were not there to begin with." Do you know if this is true?

One can see all of the sediment in the bottom of the pan and on the magnets. If you only change fluid, there is a chance of dislodging this sediment and causing transmission failure. If you are going to change fluid I recommend you drop the pan and change the filter too. |
