Just take it in regardless of warranty or not and get new fluid and a filter installed. I also say DON'T do a flush, just fluid change.

You'll be fine with just the fluid change. Good luck either way.

Not yet. We need more people to chime in and let us know what date would be best. We want to make it convenient for every one.

i just had my trans service done at at the dealer. They said they hooked it up to some machine that ran fluid through the entire system to flush it before they filled it. 1k miles later and everything is still good.
