Do you always replace filter when fluid change? also idk why i didnt state thsi earlier the car has 170k on the dot never been changed xD

170k and no fluid change? that tranny might be gone. you will really know after you change the fluid

to my Knowledge and the previous owners knowledge it ahs never been changed, im sure it has at least once somewhere in its life, but it shift smooth even under full throttle shifts better than my friends 07 mustang Gt lol so idk if its brown flush it down? lol guess that applies here.

Edit: also the tranny fluid in it is not only brown but has lost all its viscosity properties and instead of sitting on the stick its rolls off way too fast hard to check fluid so thats probably a big issue also. suprised its still running

I did a full flush, a tad under 13qt's, in my 01 v6 Camaro I had then sold. Dropped the tranny completely, pulled the torque converter. Did it all, shifted a hell of a lot better afterwards and the kid I sold it too has racked up 30k miles on it since last February without problems at all.

If you're not sure on what you are doing when doing it, please don't do it lol. Get a shop to do it.
