Generally when the fluid looks brown and smells burt it needs asap. Depending on the fluid quality and driving, about 7-10,000km for traffic driving and towing in my experience.

Yeah it's still doing it don't really know what to do I wouldn't say it's gotten worse but it hasn't gotten better either even with what I've done within the past few weeks just wondering if it's my transmission or fuel pump or something oh also my car has been weird lately for instance my blinkers spending up and slowing down mainly when sitting at the lights it really speeds up or slows down can't remember which on but when I put my window up or down at the lights whilst indercating also I pulled out of a car park about 2 weeks ago got halfway out went almost full lock accelerated and the car just died but started straight back up.
