transmission oil flush?

[andyli]

hi, guys, How often do you change your transmission oil, mine is still redish and clear, having it about one year and a half.

about every 30,00kms i did mine in my vr, if its still nice and smooth i wouldnt worry.

many thanks, mine makes a lot of noise in shift 1, maybe the oil at the bottom is not nice and clean.

getting a trans service every 12 months is what i would say, its a good preventative measure so the trans has a nice long life.

the VS owners manual says you should change the fluid every 80,000km's i'd probably do it at 40km at the most however

According to Gergory's, you change it 90k, but under extreme conditions like short or long distance driving, stop start situations it recommends 40k service. So I would go for 40k service.

Mines done every 7000km's.........but has been modified and I drive it hard and would like it to live.

thats fairly extreme, do you drop the pan and do a service refill, or the full $200 flush job????

if it will cost 200 bucks I will leave it until the oil change color.

pul the dipstick out and wipe it on a white piece of paper to see it's real colour, i though mine was good until the guy at the trans shop did that and showed me how dirty it really was

Flushed every 3rd service, the rest are just dump the pan, replace the filter adn gasket and top up again.
