Hi Rusty and All,
I use Valvoline type F in all the transmissions I REBUILD. That's the key
word as the entire transmission is cleaned out along with the cooler and
torque converter. If your transmission fluid is relatively clean, doesn't
leak, and the trans is working OK, I would leave it alone. New transmission
fluid will tend to clean out and dislodge any sludge and particles that are
in the system. Since the filters in these things are not that efficient,
(just a screen really), most of it will be circulating in the fluid and
could cause a valve to stick. I did change the fluid in my G when I bought
it, but it also only had 52,000 miles. I didn't have any trouble with it,
and it's got over 100,000 now. Anyone else have any ideas?
300ly,
Don
