Default When to Change Transmission Fluid

Hey guys,

I have an '06 auto GT vert that has a saleen super charger pushing 415 RWHP and 411 torque. I have about 40,000 miles on it and was wondering when I should change the transmission fluid?

Also, I have heard that I should just have it "flushed" or "filtered" instead of totally replaced.

What are the thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Nick

I just had mine flushed and new fluid added at 30,000 miles so that its ready for the Mustangs Across America cruise in April. I should be putting around 5,000 miles round trip and wanted new fluid in the transmission. I drive the car hard and have over 15 1/4 mile passes on the local track running on a 125 hp shot of NOZ.

Ford calls for a fluid and filter change at 150,000 miles.
