Exclamation Transmission fluid flush...

Hey guys i just had my tranny fluid flushed due to a jerking i was getting at about 10 mph and about 1200-1400 rpm. All i can say is WOW. The tranny shifts so much better and the shifts are a bit quicker than before. It feels like i just got a brand new tranny. I would recommend doing this if you have the same problem i did or you want your tranny to be beefed up a bit.

Can you please look at your invoice and see:

what fluid was used?

Was any other work done? Any TCU flashes? They wouldn't term it that, but it would have a line item.

I thought the tranny fluid was for life? Or is that for those of us that never see 50K miles?

Bet they reset the tranny shift patterns too. It's the sneaky ECU reset.

Glad it's running better!

The invoice just said that they flushed 14 quarts of fluid out of my tranny after they performed some kind of test to solve the problem i had before with the jerking. They didnt flash anything and as far for the fluid i dnt know what its called. I have to look for my invocie.

The dealer did a glycol test to solve my jerking problem and my car passed the test. After that the invoice says that they flushed the transmission system and performed a trans service and retested it.
