should i change tranny fluid?
 

so i just bought a wrecked 99 and ive been slowly puttin it back together. i just took it for the first test drive and the tranny shifts a little weird. it wont shift unless i let off the throttle. im going to put a governor pressure solenoid and sensor in it and adjust the tv cable. but i was wonderin should i change the fluid, it has 191,xxx on it and it looks kinda scary
thanks mike

Just install a Stage VI Suncoast :tu: Just kiddin! But if it looks scary you can try changin it. You need ATF +4 for your trans I believe

weather you change it or not if it's going to go out it will. I would change it myself.

should i change tranny fluid?
 

I think you have to pull the pan the replace those parts, so it' gonna get at least a fresh gallon to start with, right?

For some reason 6 quarts is sticking in my head when you drop the pan??? I could be completely wrong though :humm:

Yes, that probably has a deep pan, so more like a gallon and a half.

thanks guys i know it will go out im just tryin to bide time until i find a nv4500 and make mo money

Some fresh fluid and a filter change will probably buy you some time... Not a whole lot though :nope:

Check the adjustment on the bands,mine did exactly the same thing and I threw all the solenoids and pressure transducer at it and still did it!Adjusted the band and problem went away.Make life easier and install a drain plug on the trans if theres not one already it makes saving that expensive ATF+4 a lot easier.:humm:

yes change it for shure

Not directed at you, Mike 12321, but why do people not treat trans fluid like any other maintenance fluid? Change all of them, oil, trans fluid, PS fluid, brake fluid, diff fluid, xfer case fluid, blinker fluid...
