transmission fixed.

originall filter it was clogged to hell and back. truck has 126,000 miles on it so it was due anytime. does any one know how often you should change the transmission filter? i think its around every 55,000 miles im not 100% sure though

every 35000 miles, but be careful if your over 120000 miles or more, some people have actually brought on problems changing fluid on high miieage transmissions.

I use a mity vac hand pump to pull out at least a half quart of trans fluid every motor oil change, that way I know there is fresh fluid and additives in there sure it takes some extra time but if it keeps a rebuild away for and extra 10,000 miles it is well worth it in my book. I have a dedicated hose that is as long as the dipstick and I pull the fluid out through the dipstick tube. Before summer I will pull out 2 quarts and every now and then I will do a full quart during motor oil changes! Lubegard additives,Lubegard transmission fluid additives
Their products are the only I ever tell people to use and it actually works, My buddies girls escape was having shifting problems and I told him to dump a bottle of that in there and now it shifts like brand new, he couldn't believe it since he was ready to go ahead and bring it to the shop.
