Should I change my transmission fluid???

**88LX** · 05-14-2002, 09:51 AM

I recently purchased my 88LX with an automatic transmission. It has 150,000 miles on it and as far as I know, the tranny fluid has never been changed. I know for a fact that the guy I bought it from (who had it since 110,000 miles), never changed it.

I remember hearing somewhere that if you change the fluid after it has gone a really long time without being changed, the transmission could fall apart. Is this true? Or should I go ahead and change it?

Yes, get the trannie flushed and refilled. It'll help you get the most performance from it and help it live longer.

if you have to ask, then yes you need to change it...
