    If you continually change the fluid over the course of 100k your always removIng the worn material. Versus letting it all build up at once.

    Some people might have no slip or have a 1-2 slip bang at wot. Or a serve slip in all gears

    ive cooked a few transmissions in my day, and 2 of them still had red fluid, once it starts to slip, nothing is going to help it but new clutch packs. its on the long dark road to death.

    and ive seen in person transmissions fail right after a full flush, that's all the facts i need to know.

    my 97 truck, i bought it new, it got a a flush every 30,000 miles, red fluid out new red in, trans worked fine till the day i sold it at 175,000 miles.

    if the trans has had regular maint its whole life and you know this for a fact, then do the flush.

    if the fluid is brown and you dont know its history, to me its not worth taking the chance of going from a working trans to dead one.

    this is what ive seen and what has happen to me, these are the facts im living by.
