Default Transmission Fluid at 90,000 miles

Hey guys,

I posted this in my car diary thread, but figured it was pretty interesting so I decided to post an actual thread on it.

Had the transmission flushed at 90k, first time it had been flushed.

Replaced sleeve and pan/filter at the time.

Car started to have a very slight abnormality from 1st-2nd. If you weren't the daily driver of the car you probably wouldn't have even noticed it.


Here is the analysis from Blackstone Laboratories. Before and after the 12qt flush.

As you will see, the change wasn't what I would call drastic, it was certainly needed though and the original fluid was kinda borderline. So if you plan on doing a flush and have high mileage on the original fluid, I would suggest a 12qt flush like I performed rather than a 6qt.

Thanks for reading!

Before:





After:






TCM had to be flashed and Updated to run properly. All is now well!!
