Is it time for a transmission flush?
I checked my ATF and it has black stuff on the end of the dipstick, and I have been having a little bit of trouble out of the trans., it is a 90 Miata, with 99200 miles.
can drain it and replace filter and fluids flushing never needs
a car drove right never needs it at all
my car over 300,000 miles never been touch
This is something Ford Motor Company specifically advises against. In big letters in the Ford transmission service manuals it says "Warning: Use only clean automatic transmission fluid. Do not use any supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or cleaning agents. The use of these materials affects the operation of the transmission, resulting in internal component failure."
It is not necessary to use a special machine to do the job correctly. Just drop the pan and pull the drain plug on the torque converter. While it's draining, drop the transmission filter, put in a new one and clean the pan. Put a new gasket on the transmission pan and button it back up. Put the drain plug back into the torque converter and fill up the transmission.
This method will get 95% of the transmission fluid out with wasting time hooking up a machine you don't need.
The facts are this:
1.The only ones who recommend a transmission, or engine, flush as a maintenance service are the people who make the machines and the people who sell the service.
2.No automotive manufacturer in the world recommends a flush as regular service. If a shop tells you they do; they are outright lying to you.
3.All automotive manufacturers specifically recommend against flushing services. Doing so will void new vehicle warranties.
4.A transmission, or engine, that has been regularly serviced does not need a flush.
5.Flush machine manufacturers specifically advise against flushing "high mileage" vehicles. This loosely phrased warning puts the complete burden of the cost of repairs to components damaged by a flushing service on the shop and leaves them libel free.
So whenever a shop says you need a transmission, or engine, flush; just say no.
and you wil be better off
