I have 107,000 miles on my Elantra and it runs perfect. I was thinking that with this many miles I should probably change the transmission fluid but I contacted a transmission shop and they had this to say:

With that kind of mileage we will opt out…most of the time u change the fluid on something of that miles, the transmission will go out due to the new fluid having wear additive and it tries to wear old clutches in and will junk the transmission making the clutch material fall off the plates… Best thing to do is put a additive like Lucas in it and see how much further u can get.
What are the thoughts in the forum? The transmission is working perfectly. Should I just leave it alone and drive it forever?
