I'm sure transmission fluid could go the whole life ofa car, but imo it's not gonna be as crisp. Mine doesn't smoothly go into gears as good as it used to, I think it will be able to slide through gears better after a change. Well I'll post after I change it and see if it makes a difference.

And no I don't grind my gears all the time.....

I changed mine because I had no record when it was last changed and I needed to change the fluid to stop the grinding in second with some GM synchromesh...and it worked..

im pretty sure he has a manuel.

you have to be careful with flushing automatic transmissions because if the clutch plate friction material weres off and stays in the tranny fluid the trannsmission will still work. when you dain the fluid the friction material will come out. you put in the new stuff and your transmission has nothing to grab with. Dont loet this scare you though, if you havent beaten on your tranny you should be fine with an auto. if you have a manuel its a piece of cake, just drain and fill
