transmission life? 700 1980

740s had a regular change of a some of the transmission fluid.

I think that they drained the pan every 30K.

See a maintenance manual to check this.

Many folks do not recommend a full change for an older transmission.

Even in the 850 section some folks no longer advise a flush, but a - slow change - drop the fluid in the pan at every oil change until the transmission fluid looks good.

In one of the posts, someone figured how the concentration of older fluid changes with each pan drop.

transmission life? 700 1982

700-series debuted in 1982. Built in Sweden and Australia.

Are you encountering problems with your auto AW-7x transmission?

Three million miles on the original transmission? 3,000,000?

Or three hundred thousand miles? 300,000

Turbo or not turbo 700-series, you own?

How is the transmission fluid? You've flushed the fluid regularly with njew. Many prefer synthetic after using a mineral Dexron for the flush.

See the heading on the page: "AW-70-71 Transmission Life?"

Hope that helps.
