I never had a car that changing fluid would magically fix problems inside it. If it's low to being with, okay, but if fluid level is right up, I've never found changing it to help on my cars. Not saying it's impossible, just saying I never lucked out that way.
same here.
and you can add me to the list of one who had changed fluids only to need a new rebuild severla months later. Its was almost like the clutch material in the fluid was somehow keeping the clutches happy. when I removed that material and put new fluid in, all heck broke loose
Its the fluid that does it , ATF has alot of detergent like additives and putting in fresh fluid cleans out the build up and thats what causes the problems .
If one changes the fluid on scheduled intervals a trans should live a long and happy life

Did a flush and fill once on my van. 2-4 days later the front seal blew.
I have heard of people changing the filter and pouring the old fluid back in. That was on an old high mileage tranny.

how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop? the world may never know. here is the problem. old transmission. high mileage. if it breaks shortly after you changed the fluid/filter, how do you know that it would have NOT broke if you did NOT change the fluid/filter? if you have a 150K mile engine, and you change the oil, then it blows up 500 miles later...did that last oil change break your engine, or the 150K miles that were on it before you changed the oil?

If it's been working for 23 years and it still is why mess with it? keep going till it breaks then just rebuild the whole thing.
