Should I Change The Transmission Fluid For 2004 Envoy

• #2

I'm not all that experienced in mechanics but... if it and so happens that it did go after the fluid change what makes you recollect if you don't change it that information technology won't break down eventually anyway.

And if it is good, leaving the old fluid in the tranny could cause troubles in the near hereafter.

I would say get ahead and change it, most people who say that their transmissions went later on a modify had problems before and didn't realise information technology.

Showtime matter I do with any vehicle I pick up is change the fluids. I use Lucas transmission fluid whereas its recommended past all the tranny shops in my area, never had a problem.

Proper maintenance isn't that expensive. Merely some owners are just besides cheap.

And they come up with all SORTS of urban legends to rationalize their cheapness. What flapdoodle.

Bad shifts are a big clue. Shifts that have too long; shifts that allow the RPM to flare between gears; slippage; too tight, snap-your-head shifts; inability to lock the lockup clutch and achieve the concluding RPM reduction when cruising in apartment atmospheric condition; losing a gear including reverse; overheating if you have the browse tool and software to be able to expect at it. Functional sorts of things.

I accept heard dissimilar stories where people change out their tranny fluid and it kills the tranny. I simply bought this truck and I'm alittle hesitant to change the tranny fuild. I am doing a full fluid modify in the truck, including...brake fluid and power steering fluid. But the tranny is the one matter I'grand nervous about changing. I don't know the maintenance history of it. But with the issues I've had with information technology, I'k pretty sure maintenance was not loftier on the list of things to exercise to it. What is everyone thoughts? I see other guys on here changing theirs without much hesitation. your thoughts and insight would be squeamish.

I waited until 120k to modify mine. I had no bug before and no problems subsequently. I'm at 141k at present

I would change information technology... I changed my tranny fluid for the outset time at 145,000 miles and so I did information technology once more exactly 1 year afterwards. All it did for me was assist shift quality. So at 116,000 miles you should be fine changing information technology. I besides would recommend throwing in a bottle of Lucas transmission stop slip, the second time I changed my tranny fluid I put in a quart of stop slip in place of one quart of tranny fluid. It worked wonders for my transmission. It fixed a had 1-ii shift when cold.

You lot might as well consider troubleshooting the deterioration in the tranny to the root cause and putting in new solenoids and something like the Transgo SK-4L60E shift kit. If you want to dig deeper.
