Re: Tranny oil/filter change

Check the condition of your fluid. If it still has a reddish/pinkish color to it, you're fine to do your filter change. If the fluid is dark brown with an acrid/pungent smell to it, it's too late and the risks outweigh the possible benefits. It all boils down to how burnt the existing fluid is. Also, as I've stated before, under no circumstances do a fluid exchange, or your trans will be toast at this point, regardless of the current fluid's condition. Only change the filter and the fluid that comes out when you drop the pan.
