Ideas on Changing Auto Tranny Fluid

Posted by 1 Dollar on April 04, 2010 at 18:53:20 from (65.29.88.166):

I recently bought a car with an automatic transmission, specific maintenance history unknown. It shifts and runs just fine, 138000 miles, but I like to get maintenance items on "my" schedule. Fluid isn"t burnt, but it isn"t new. Would you go ahead and drop the pan and do the fluid/filter? Or just suck what I can out of the dipstick and replace that?

At this age, I"m not going to flush it. I don"t want to knock stuff loose.

Thanks for any input

(The car is a 2001 Taurus 24V, but I don"t want to get into a brand war or reputation dispute etc. It"s a farm truck mile-saver)
