It seems getting your transmission fluid CHANGED is somewhat controversial here on these boards...with most saying never to change the fluid in a high mileage transmissions, but mine has relatively LOW mileage...I am a little afraid to mess with the tranny given the high cost of replacement

I originally thought it was the transmission slipping but due to the bad weather conditions when it first happened, my husband convicned me it was the DSC...I should have known better but I didn't want to think it was the tranny...with 59K it should be good for a long time...or at least one would think! How do I determine IF the tranny software has been updated by a previeous owner???

Thanks again for any and all advice!!!
