Hey all,
I have a 2004 Grand Prix GT1 with 176k miles. I was preparing for a long road trip yesterday, and while getting my oil changed, was convinced I needed my transmission flushed. I figured it would be a good thing, being that I would be making a 12-hour drive the next day.
After the flush, the trans is slipping. Now that I've read flushing high-mileage trans is a horrible idea, I am worried that I may be damaging (or already have damaged) my transmission. I am 600+ miles away from home, and unsure what I should do.
I checked the level, and see that the fluid is brown, and it looks to be overfilled as well. While driving, I only noticed the slipping while going uphill and when accelerating. As long as I'm on flat land, at like 65 mph, it's generally ok.
I read something about the flush taking out stuff which causes friction necessary in the trans. I think I had it flushed once before, maybe 45k miles ago and it acted up for a while, just like this, but eventually stopped. I thought it was normal smh. Will the fluid eventually correct itself, or do I need to do something?
Please help!
Thanks!
Thomas
