how many times did you drain and fill? which fluid did you use?
I know I shouldn't have done this but I ended up doing a drain and re-fill tranny oil change about 2 months ago and now my transmission is slighlty slipping when cold.
My car has 165,000 miles and since I got the car 3 years ago at 90,000+ I had not replaced nor added any fluid to the transmission and never had any problem with it either.
I went and listen to this stupid mechanic who told me that the fluid was too dark and recommended I drain and re-fill ASAP....Now I regret it
Anyhow, what's done is done. I have added some of that Lucas Tranny fix and it seems to have fix the problem, but just slightly.
Does this mean my transmission gonna go bust in a few months or what?
What else ca I do?

Fluid type would be very important here.
Do a full transmission fluid flush, with filter, and with Mitsubishi Diamond SPIII trans fluid only.
yup. 99s have external at least on the v6 ones.
99 I4's have external oil filters as well
They're talking about tranny filters

I know for a fact that the place I took the car to get serviced knew about using Mitsubishi Diamond SPIII and told me that that was what they were gonna use....Now if they really used the Mitsu kind I will never know...But yeah, as far as I know, Diamond SP was used...
It was only drained and filled once. And the car is a 2001 so I dont know about replacing the filter on my model
