so i just got an oil change and the mechanic told me my tranny fluid was 60%, this isnt possible if i just got a tranny flush 3 months ago right... i brought my car into the dealership for rough shifting and they claimed they had topped my fluid off , my car still shifts bad they said its normal for tl's. any1 got feedback on this , or does my dealership just not like me having a warranty?

 

pretty sure your first mistake was getting the tranny "flushed", if thats what you did. Its not normal for these cars to shift bad

 

i didnt tell them to do anythything my car was sitting for a year when i bought it, i brought it in for the shifting and they flushed to fix it i guess.

 

I dont know from experience but I have always been advised never to flush a tranny so I have never done it. Especially if your car has higher mileage.

The dealer still gets paid from whoever your warranty company is so I wouldn't let that concern you

 

yea i heard the same bout tranny flushes after it was already done to mine, but ima call them to see y my fluids at 60% in sucha small time

And about the shifting, TL's should be nice and smooth, idk how a luxury car can be all jerky. Warrantys over in february so might aswell try and get free fixes until its too late

 

Why not check the trans fluid yourself and verify?

 

I would check the transmission fluid after you have driven it to the store and back when it is at operating temperature! After that I would start adding 1/4 quart or so until it reaches normal level!

 

how can one tell that the transmission fluid has about 60% of life left?

 

indeed after school ill check it and start adding if it is in fact low, just worries me because if it was never flushed could the fluid be bad and causing my shifting to be funky? im 18 and its my first car lmao, 0 car experience

 

Im with Just... How the hell can they tell the fluid only has 60% life expectancy?

 

upsell.

 

Because he is Acura Tech and he also recommend you to lube the brake pad with grease for better cooling on rotor. . Some time you have to determine yourself to see if its BS or not, dealer trying to sell me alot of BS and most of the time I am not buying it, like one time Honda dealer told me that if I want them to perform "pot hole special" LOL for my Accord that lowered with spring, after that they ask me the next thing need to pay immediate attention is tire rotation which already rotated by myself a week before. I then ask the service guy if I need to replace my muffler bearing, checking my airbag pressure, lube my brake rotor to reduce heat cause by friction and top off my headlight fluid. The guy just shut up and walk away and never say a thing to me again, after that I told them what work need to be done not them told me what to do.

OP there is no way in hell he can tell you how much fluid you have left in the AT without disassemble the whole AT, if he talking about the ATF life then he is the most idiot I ever meet, I would told him "your words only scare people who doesn't know shit about car.
