So my 30,000mile service is coming soon and in the service book it says to replace the trans fluid for the automatic transmission. My car is a manual and the trans pretty loud when the engine is cold and everything but i still can hear it when the engine is completely warm and it bug me some times. Could this be because of low/bad fluid? should i go ahead and get new fluid in too?

 

bump.. anyone?

 

mines clunky on cold starts, but usually runs smoother after it warms up some. Cant hurt to spend a little extra for piece of mind IMO.

 

ya i would like to know the same thing... i noticed the sharp sound when i put my car in any gear other that park or neutral.. kinda unsettling for me.. good question

 

i'm at 45K miles and I have a loudgear sound in 2ed and 4thand I just put new fluid in last munth, the new fluiddid not do a thing about the loud gear sound[:@]so i will live with it.
