Don`t forget the tranny flush! 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be rich on  Sun Aug 14 07:48 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hi!
Just took my wife`s 850T wagon in for a tranny flush the other day. It`s a daily commuter so lots of miles(225K). I don`t drive it too often but noticed the last time I did I noticed that the shifts were feeling a little "clunky". I checked the fluid & it was looking less than pristine. After the tranny flush, the car shifts "smooth as silk", feels like new again!
Just a reminder for those who may not be as aware of maintenance issues as we all should be or perhaps just a little lazy.
Rich

This is a very easy DIY item, and about $30 US to dIY. I do both every year with dino. Cheap maint.

Could you please tell what kind of fluid was used to flush with.... dino or synthetic? And is this the same type of fluid which was used all along?

Thank you

Marty
