Originally posted by mcgyvr You people are crazy. Ive got over 100K miles on my car and haven't changed the tranny filter ever.

Maybe 30K miles..thats reasonable and Infinity you really think a filter change would solve his problem of having NO gears?.. and what is your reasoning behind it?.. completely clogged filter so no fluid flow? Frankly I don't know how the A604 got such a bad rep. I've beaten the hell out of my car/tranny and have had no problems. IMO add a aux tranny cooler from day 1 and your set for life.
Cool, mcgyvr so my Atx is safe. I should just add fluid when it gets low and Lucas oil Trans, Stabilizer.
So, your Tranny filter gasket hasn't leaked. A604 auto trans filter/ gasket last more than 100,00 miles. Its good not go buy what parts store or dealer techs. say.
I usally change my Filter/fluid before winter and during this time after. I fig'd the trans. gaskets leak, it has on my old car ciera.
This would be sweet, saves me an extra $20 bucks from the filter.
