I have a 2002 Ford explorer with 100,000 miles (auto non 4x4), no prob right now and never had tran fluid change. I have read in this forum that if I would to just change the fluid by drop the pan out and change the filter, there are possibility that the new fluid might cause the transmission to become slippage because the new fluid have some type of detergent in it.There is an auto shop in Denver which will do it for $108 but i just want to know what do anyone think about the transmission additive.If I would to change, what does anyone think of putting some type of additive in the transmission which might prolong the its life?Thank you
don't put any additive in... just a normal service.. filter and gasket.. and fresh fluid..the price of transmission fluid has gone through the roof.. try not to extend the transmission services for so long.. 25K miles...price a rebuilt transmission. and you might care for it better... as they will last a LOT longer when properly serviced..
