Noob question about Tranny fluid changing I purchased my car in Sept. 2005 and it had roughly 20k miles on it and now I have roughly 52k on it. I do not know if the tranny fluid was ever changed before I purchased it and I have not changed it since I owned it. My tranny has never had problems and has always shifted fine. I just want to change it for my own peace of mind. I can have some guys at my work flush it and put new fluid in it but my main concern is should I change it since it hasnt been changed for so long? I read a bit on this and most people are on the line about it it seems. I was just wanting some insight on my scenario.

When the tranny is about to go and the fluid hasn't been changed ever then the fluid might be the only thing keeping it together. That's what I heard anyway. But when you got a good tranny with good fluid then change it. 50K is the recommended interval to change it I believe.

So drain/replace filter/refill is cool
