i'm at 44k now and i'm just getting mine flushed and refilled at the dealership. it's like 100 bucks but thats alot better than forking out the loot to replace the tranny.

[Ghost Beat]

i got my tranny flushed at 30k at the delearship i forget how much i payed for it tough...

[FLO-DOG]

when i use to work at jiffy lube, we had kits there that replaced the filter you had in your tranny and cleaned the magnet off and the gasket, i'm at 75k and still have nmot done it yett, my bad. but it will get done before i take my trip back home.

I just picked up a 2000 Galant with 37K mileage. I did a transmission flush for $100. at Valvoline just 'cause I thought it's a good idea. Any problems/issues with the tranny on these?

[Gilhuly]

You should definitely do the fluid with the recommended Mitsu fluid every 30k. I have one of the first 99's and at that time they said to check it at 60k. At 65k, I developed a torque converter shudder in 3>4. Fuid change fixed it, but I woud think of the drain & fill as an insurance policy unless you like paying for tranny work.

it cost me 170 from the dealer. many people recommend mitsu tranny fluid only.
