Hello again,
I am looking for advice on whether or not to change my transmission fluid on my 2003 Dodge Sprinter.
The fluid was last changed at 301,000 miles, and I am currently at 408,854 miles. The fluid has a darker brownish color indicating that it needs to be changed, but I keep running into information about not changing.
From what I've gathered, if you haven't been regularly changing the transmission fluid on a high mile engine, changing the fluid can cause more harm than good. I believe this is due to suddenly removing the old transmission oil that has been lubricating old parts?
My question is:
At my mileage, will changing the transmission fluid cause more harm than good?
The harm being sudden "rumble strip", transmission problems leading to replacement, trouble accelerating up hills, etc.
Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance ?
