Nick, I have a follow up question, Since I now have 85K miles on the transmission and original oil, "Some people have said that you don't want to change the oil in the transmission because the increased viscosity of the new fluid can dislodge particles of dirt inside the transmission, clogging the new filter in a matter of miles. Other people will say that there are friction modifiers in the new fluid that are not compatible with the transmission". Are the above risks negated by following your procedure exactly? The transmission should operate the same before and after the fluid change? Other mechanics warm me if it has gone 85k mile with no change, DO NOT change it now, your asking for trouble. Is it true once you change it, and now you have slippage, on going back, time for a rebuild? Thanks!

That is a loaded question. I don't know the actual condition or adaptation range of your transmission. I have heard all of those statements before about replacing high mileage fluid. if the fluid has a lot of friction material in it, you can assume it is on the way on either way. If it has been treated well and driven kindly, the fluid may seem cleaner, I would them assume the replacement is OK.
