Yesterday I was driving up into hilly country and I noticed the tranny started clunking into each gear and then whining a lot in gear. I stopped and checked the ATF level and it was just fine. This was happening on the hills as well as on the flat. I stopped for fuel and a rest for about 15 minutes and then continued. NO MORE clunking and whining. It completely stopped. So my question, did it just get too hot or is the ATF starting to break down? I've never changed the ATF. What should be done to renew the fluid? Thanks

PS Car is 1997 Buick Park Ave with 120000 mi.

That is one of the best transmissions....I think I would change the oil and drive it till it goes. I wouldnt worry about it much unless it continues.

Most domestic manufacturers recomend changing the tranmission oil every 30,000-36,000 on front wheel drive cars. Take it to a TRANSMISSION SHOP (you're beyond going to a quick lube place now) and have them diagnosis it for you. They can drop the pan and give a decent idea as to what you have just by analysing the oil and the debris in the pan. Most likely they'll tell you to change the oil (and flush?) then drive it till it drops.

You are lucky you got that many miles on that one ! It is now junk and time to start shopping for a reman tranny. P.S. next time it would be a good idea to change your fluid every 30,000 miles for longest life.
