Yes, another question about the transmission
Yes, another question about the transmission
Quick question, should I change the oil, filter and 3rd and 4th switches at the same times?? or first the switches drive some miles then the oil and filter??
My car already has 111K miles!!! no problem at all but I want to do this for prevention.

everything can be changed at the same time but I give my car some time to adjust to the new stuff....couple questions for you:
1> how often have you performed a drain and refill or a flush on the tranny ?
2> are you sticking to the stock fluid or going redline/other aftermarket fluid ?
When you change something on your tranny that has high mileage i recommend "taking your sweeeeet time"....so if the car doesnt like something, you can go back to stock without hurting a thing.....
I would do the following:
112K miles: drain and refill
113K miles: drain and refill + switches
114K miles: drain and refill
115K miles: drain and refill + new filter
so you have done a tranny 4x3 and gotten new switches and filter....
why 4x3 you ask....i usually get 12qts of redline and thought the 3 qts are better off sitting in the tranny than the garage....

this is exactly I was asking because my car has a lot of mileage and I know to much changes in a transmission with this kind of miles could be wrong.
I'm going from OEM fluid to the Redline not sure yet if use the D4 or the racing.
I liked your idea about how/when to change the things. Tahnks so much for your advice.!!
