How often should your transmission fluid be changed?

i know that your oil needs to be changed every 4000 miles but is there a magical number about your transmission fluid as well - my car seems to take longer to shift and shifts harder than what i am used to but my mechanic tested it and said there is nothing wrong with the transmission - could it just need a fluid change?How often should your transmission fluid be changed?
i agree with deathdea, i am also a mechanic. the best thing to do is to read your service manual, and never change the fluid without changing the filter also.i you don't have a manual then i would change it every 25k to 30k miles.How often should your transmission fluid be changed?
I change mine every 50K miles and the filter once its over 100K. This depends on your driving habits and conditions of course.How often should your transmission fluid be changed?
OK here is what you do, Inform the mechanic it isn't shifting like it always has. He checked the tranny and said all is well. The problem most likely is your driving habits have changed and you see the tranny shifting differently where the mechanic sees 50 a week and knows when there is and issue internal to the tranny.



Fluid changes should be performed every 20-30K this also depends on the car. Check the manual or ask the mechanic he will know.How often should your transmission fluid be changed?
every cars is different. the obvious thing to do is to check the fluid for discolor. if it is not the same color as the original, replace the fluid. some vehicles such as volkswagen, audi, bmw, or mercedes use special oil that last a lifetime.How often should your transmission fluid be changed?
AS A MECHANIC THE FIRST THING I CAN SAY FOR ANYONE WHO OWNS A VEHICLE IS 2 BUY A SERVICE MANUEL THAT WAY YOU CAN HAVE SOME INSIGHT AS TO WHAT TO EXPECT, WHEN TO SERVICE, WHAT TO SERVICE ECT. .. . . . .YOUR TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE PERIODICALLY CHANGED ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER FLUIDS IN YOUR CAR. SOUNDS LIKE FLUID IS DIRTY AND NEEDS CHANGED,ALSO FILTER. HAVE IT POWER-FLUSHEDHow often should your transmission fluid be changed?
Your owner's manual and manufacturer's maintenance schedule is what you should follow.
