Who needs transmission fluid. Drain it out so you don't have to worry about it.

Either way, if it says 75k, I'd get it changed around then. That's the best way to protect from damage. Just cause it looks good doesn't mean anything about the chemical properties of the fluid. It should cost somewhere around $100, and that's cheap insurance, IMO. |

Either way, my advice is to get it flushed. Most horror stories about flushings are from people who haven't taken care of their vehicle, then they finally get it flushed way past recommended intervals, and surprisingly enough, after years of abuse, the tranny develops problems. Then they blame it on the flush. |

I've never seen a manual with a dipstick.

I don't flush my transmissions, however, I do change the oil in them. It's pretty simple, just drain, and then fill through the dipstick hole.
Now keep in mind, drain and fill won't get all of the fluid out, but, it will cut it into about half on most cars. So, the next time you change it, it will change half of that, etc., etc. After having tranny problems (yes, it was after flushing - but as the person said in the other thread above, it hadn't seen regular maint.), now I'm a big fan of just doing a tranny filter and oil change. My 2 cents. |
