yeah change that fluid over, could also put sum transmission conditioner in there as well once u change the fluid, to get rid of the residue build up on bands and clutches etc etc.

Gotta get a trans service kit, so u get a new filter and cork gasket no point just droppin the fluid then having the new stuff run thru a dirty filter

Can do the job urself for around 50-70 depending on what oil, serivvce kit u get n where from

bursons, repco, autobarn, supercheap all those will have em instock.

Jst go in ask for a auto trans service kit for a VR, that has new filter, and cork gasket.

Then u just need to choose sum Dextron 3 trans fluid

Drop the pan, (oil goes everywhere on these pans) clean the magnet in the sump pan, change the filter n pop in the new gasket tighten it all up then refill the trans to the right level, run for a 15min drive then check the fluid level again, top up if needed

tip

when servicing check what colour ur oil is it should be cherry red but if it is a browning black colour with a bad smell i would recommend taking it to an automatic transmission machanic and just tell em what u posted
