Transmission

[womer1955]

Hello to all,

I have a 2002 9.5 4 cyl wagon, it has 101,564 miles on it and was wondering if it
would be a good idea to have the transmission fluid and filter changed and flushed


Thanks

You don’t flush.
you have to drain it 3 times.
spend a couple of hours on the stickies to get to know your car.
lots of posted info on changing the T fluid and which fluid to buy.
yours is a 5speed. It’s first year with a couple of issues.
some never change their fluid and have no issues, some change it a lot.

Thanks Mike, not to sound stupid but after I drain and fill it three time when should I have the filter changed

The automatic transmission does not have a filter that can be changed.

Welcome and good luck!
