I've been reading alot of stuff on the net (and hearing stuff from people) that a tranny should be flushed around 50,000KM and such, my ride is currently at 68792KM and i havent done a tranny flush yet.
Thing is when i check Ford's Maintenence schedule, it says not to change it till 150,000 (am assuming miles, found it on geniuneservice.com, ford site)
So am confused, i wanna make sure this car lasts pretty much forever (nothin better than a pony) but i dont wanna screw her up either by not flushing it and such.
What do i do? (and of course every shop in town wants to flush it...)
It is only good practice to get the tranny fluid changed every 35,000 miles or so. If you really just use some common sense/ logic just as engine oil gets dirty and comntaminants as it is used sames goes with tranny fluid. If you want it to last, change it more often will never hurt, it can only help! Remeber the Ford Manual for most cars say 6000 miles for reg oil change but everybody preaches 3000 miles and I do it faithfully at 3000 too! So why not get the tranny done at regular intervals!
My car has 27,000 miles and i just had mine done at the local Ford dealer. They had a special for $149.95. Better safe then sorry I say. Just make sure they check the level in the trans after the job is done. To many of them just like to run out 12 qts. then put 12 qts. back in, but this doesn't guarantee that the level is right.
