  • @av251993 The fluid also provides lubrication for the geartrain and other components in the unit. Any loss of lubrication speeds up the wearing of all these parts. The best thing you can do for the overall life span of the transmission, is to keep the fluid in good condition and service the unit whenever necessary.

  • @av251993 In an automatic transmission, the oil needs to be checked periodically. When the color begins to changes from the good red color, then it is time for service. The fluid not only provides pressure to apply the clutches but it has specific friction properties that will change as the fluid breaks down. This can effect the shift quality and life of the clutch plates.

  • hey im about to buy a 2001 eclipse gs, the car has 102k miles, everything is fine except that the transmission oil is a little brownish, the owner bought it at an action and doesnt know if it ever had a tranni oil change, if i buy it should i flush the transmission oil like some say, or leave it since it only has 102k miles, please let me know as soon as possible thank you
