How many posts do we get a month where the answer is "change the tranny fluid
and filter"?
I don't generally pay attention but my cars are usually manuals.

When I got my 87SDL, it would not shift into 3rd, flared horribly
going into 2nd, and shifted hard. When I drained the trans fluid, it
came out looking like chocolate syrup. I've changed the fluid at least
4 times thus far and the magnets I put in the transmission pan are
still coming out covered with black slime. The transmission is working
perfectly now.
It might make sense to a theoretical physicist that the fluid should
last forever, but things are different in the real world. The fact is
that if you change your transmission fluid, it WILL last longer. You
are welcome to test out your theory on your own car, Tom. Let us know
how it goes....
