OT Mechanics: Transmission Fluid replacement
Posted on 1/25/14 at 9:49 pm

I have a suburban that has 102k miles and I pull a camper with it. I have heard conflicting reports on transmission fluid changes. Is this something that can and should be changed like the oil or is it more complicated?

Both.
You have to drop the pan and change the filter too.
But it should be done.

Not difficult. Look for youtube videos and they'll walk you right thru it. Make sure you replace the filter as well as the fluid.

You'd have to get it done. You aren't gonna be able to flush the whole system on those by yourself IIRC. I'd do it, but wouldn't go synthetic

Have is it been changed before? That will determine what you should do
If it hasn't been done before.. I'd just drain and refill. Don't flush or you're asking to have tranny issues.

If you've never changed the fluid, don't.
The filter does need to be replaced though.

If it's never been done before, I would be a little hesitant. You can have a complete flush done, which removes all the fluid, and replaces it with new. I would change the filter as well. With 100k, could get tricky, prepare yourself for a new tranny.

If you can afford going to Disney with the kids, just take it to a car shop, pay for someone to handle it for you whichever way is correct, and quit worrying about it.
