I just serviced the trans in my truck today.First time I have serviced it since I bought it new in 2005 .Went a little too long miles wise (58,000)but its been fine.I swear now that I changed the fluid and filter it shifts and drives better than it did before I serviced it.Am I crazy?I used Autozone ATF+4 (5.99qt) 1.00 a qt less than Valvoline and Castrol and a Autozone trans filter.

 

Service every 30k minimum. Yes, when you get good fluid back in there the shifting get sbetter.

 

I do mine every 30k also, all fluids synthetic atf+4 24 quarts, DD trany pan, filter and adjust both sets of bands, 105k on mine now and looks brand new inside, OIL is cheap so is the filter, just a good thing to do if you tow especially.

 

I have been meaning to sometimes Life just has more important things to do lol.I think I will change it again in the spring time.It's easy enough to do for the most part.Thanks

 

I bet you forgot to adjust the bands.

 

I didn't forget,I didn't adjust as I don't have an inch/lb tork wrench.Maybe in spring when i change it again I will adjust them.
