[QUOTE="pujiesss, post: 209541, member: 4720"] from canadian dude : Here is an answer I finally got from some techy transmission dudes, may explain lifetime fluid in the tranny. Actually, changing the transmission fluid is not always a good idea. In many cases, the friction material that wears away can help the clutches and steels grip each other. When you replace the fluid with new fluid, it then loses this added ability. This can cause excess transmission slippage and eventual transmission malfunction. I have personally seen those transmissions go 200,000+ miles without a fluid change. [/QUOTE]
