Hiya,, curious been searching for a maitanance schedule for the tranny fluid but it is nonexistant. Talked to 2 dealerships they r just left guessing.. called GM customer no-service they don't have a clue.. anyone here know when to flush the tranny I got 28,000 miles and the flui d is a brown color..... Never had a car that never listed a service interval for tranny fluid.
Also, since there is no interval given on fluid changes could that be a liability issue if the tranny goes out under warrenty? if you never change your fluid cause of no service interval listed and the dealer blames you for neglect for whatever reason. I see this as a possible issue.... Also how can brown tranny fluid be good circulating through your trannny? please help dazed and confused lol
hey fellas, sorry to bump up an old thread, but since i recently bought my aveo i haven't had problems with it.
transmission fuild is brown though.
I wanted to do a flush but most friends and some mechanics advise to not do so.
So i decided to just drop the pan, drain the fluid and replace filter.
I'll be using dexron III since that what autozone said the car uses. the manual says T-IV but people have just told me "same ****". which i know isn't a very proffesional answer. wouldn't hurt though right?
havent checked on filters, or even if this car has one 'cause i heard that some of these have screens instead of filters?
truth or myth?
these trans do not have any filters.the flush is basically a dialases machine puts fluid in while draining old with car running.if you dont do this you only drain 1/3 of the fluid thats in there.i did mine when i noticed it was brown at 130,000km now i have 213,000km and no problems,flush your brown trans fluid your car will appreciate it
