The Holden handbook as supplied with each vehicle makes no mention of services for the four speed automatic transmission.
There seems to be varied opinion as to how often to service these.
Transmission specialists say every 30,000 KLM's which seems excessive to me.
( Filter, Gasket and new fluid ).
My previous VX II Equipe I had since brand new. I had the transmission serviced at 180,000 KLM's. Did another 50,000 KLM's in it till a large truck wrote it off. It was a very good reliable vehicle.
Hence I have just purchased another one for a second car.
Is there any way of telling if the transmission needs a service ?
The fluid looks clear and not burnt.
The transmission tray looks to have a black rubber gasket on it.
Is this original ?
Is it better to just get it done anyway ?
Cheers
