Question Transmission stuff 2001 GA

so I was looking through my owners manual today and noticed it's getting close to time to change the transmission fluid and filter and all that. My 2001 2.4 Grand Am has 120,000 miles on it. I'm wondering if I should also get a flush or just change the filter and fluid?

Also, I've just noticed that my passenger side floorboard is wet, could my AC be leaking down there or something? it's soaked actually.

one more....are the fog lights easy to change? I was behind a shiney truck this morning and noticed that one of them was out in the reflection.

Thank you for taking time to read my post and thanks for any help you can offer.

CB

Re: Transmission stuff 2001 GA

Welcome to AF !

I would stay away from the flush !!!
ITs not good for high mileage cars.
IT washes away alot of clutch material , and puts it in places it shouldnt, valve body etc.

I thought the manuals said every 40-50k niles to change the trans fluid and filter.
But it would be good to get those changed.

On the wet floor your drain for the HVAC could be leaking, heres a pic.
HVAC drain
its the curved elbow on the right, its located on the passenger side fire wall.

If you hav a sunroof, it could also be a roof drain leaking because its plugged or the hose(s) are cracked.
Had this happen to me.

With the fog lights its tricky gettting your hand back in thier but it can be changed with out removing any lower front panels.
Though it does make it easier to loosen the cover right under the light housings.
just turns left to loosen right to tighten the bulb(s).

Hope that helped !
