If his tranny is already gone, then how would changing the fluid fuck up a fuck tranny? Think about it. Once the fluid gets old, it turns dark. Just like oil. It is an oil based fluid so it will eventually break down and need to be replaced.

 

the tranny is still in great condition.. nothing wrong when it changes gears just looking to do some preventative maint..

 

When clutch packs on the tranny burn out they can depend on the gritty ass fluid thats in there in order for them to not slip. Changing the fluid on a worn tranny is pointless if its going to need to be rebuilt anyway.

Bedward86: If its light brown, has a slightly burned odor, and you see little particles in the fluid its just starting to break down. This is the best time to get it flushed so the new fluid will lengthen the life of your tranny.

If its dark brown, smells burnt, and you can feel particles between your fingers and see crap in your pan then you might as well leave it alone.

 

its a medium brown color never got a chance to smell it. i dont think its worn at all just think the fluid needs to be changed but it not much of a car person as far as work. im going to call a few places and have them look at it...

 

I would just drain and fill.

 

so you give a thumbs up but he said auto's you can only flush....

 

you'd be surprised how many manuals use ATF.

also, where's the dipstick on a manual transmission? i want to see if my oil looks that color.

 

disconnect line to radiator, run till it drains, then refill.

 

You can drain and fill autos. you can not flush manuals.
