Our 2006 Expedition is coming due for its 1st Transmission Fluid change. I have a Pickup truck (different make) where I do the transmission fluid change myself, so I want to go ahead and do it myself on the Expedition as well. Unfortunately, there is no repair manual available yet for the 2006 ..

A friend wants me to change the fluid in his automatic transmission for him. He has a 2003 Golf. I have the shop manual up until 1999 and it says that you need a vacuum pump to get the fluid out since there is no drain plug. Is this right? Is there a drain plug on the 2003 models? Is there a fil..

I just checked my tranny fluid and it looked dark dirty red and smelled burnt. I know this probably means my trans is near the end. I'm not really having any problems with shifting, slipping, etc. I last had it changed at 80k. My question is do I get it changed or not? I've heard many problems cr..

I have a 2000 4Runner limited with about 35000 miles. I don't think I ever had the transmission fluid changed. Is it necessary and how often? or am I wasting my money at the dealership? Also how about the coolant system? How frequent should I flush that? Thanks in advance. John

I don't know that much about cars and don't have a regular mechanic so I just go to random service stations for oil changes every 3000 miles. I bought my ;'90 Camry 2.5 years ago and my mechanic back then flushed and changed the transmission fluid. I haven't changed the transmission fluid since -i..

My automatic transmission usuall gets stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear. So I looked at the manual and it says that transmission fluid must be perfect and that in Quattro's you can not change the fluid. The fluid does not appear to be low. Two questions: 1) Does this mean I can get a transmission fluid fl..
