I am having some transmission issues. Got a couple of codes, some shuddering issues.
First step for me was to get a trans fluid filter replacement and fluid refill at my oil change place. I figger what the heck, can't hurt, maybe it will help.
I am thinking dirty fluid could cause the problems I am having.
Except they do not do that. Can't afford to stock all the filters they said.
Wait a couple of weeks. Today I called 2 trans repair shops and asked for a quote on a transmission fluid flush with filter replacement. Neither shop will do that. Drain and fill only.
I called a garage and they basically said I was stupid. Not in so many words. He said you do that and you will burn out your transmission, guaranteed. He also said no need to replace the filter, the flush will clean the filter.
So looks like I will have to diy a fluid/filter replacement. I am SO looking forward to laying on that cold hard concrete.
What are your thoughts on this subject???
I was always told to change the fluid and the filter every 100,000 miles. Now that I have 248,000 miles on my F150, I'm glad I did.
