Transmission Fluid
Hey guys.
So since my car is still shifting really hard at times and even feeling like it's yanking me backwards at times, I figure a start would be swapping the transmission fluid. I drive an AT so the manual suggests 60k miles (I have 32.5k) although I've read here that people change theirs much earlier. I asked the dealer about it last visit and they basically recommended me not to because of what the manual says. Should I push for it anyways? Last edited by euthqt; 04-13-2016 at 11:22 PM. |

I doubt a transmission fluid change would help any. I'd suggest you focus on that electronic thing that is controlling the transmission. humfrz |

If it's yanking you back wards you might want to let a dealer mechanic drive with you or let him drive it.

I have, but it seems that TCM logic is for a 2015. I figure the dealer would give me flack if I asked for it in my 13.

Your transmission shouldn't be yanking you around like that..... (we didn't have AT problems like that, back-in-the-day ....... when ATs had "bands" and only 2 speeds ...... ) humfrz |

Definitely want to make an appointment with the dealer to have that looked at. Even fluid condition wouldn't cause (or fix) what you're describing
