Only because I burned up a CD4E and had to have it replaced in October '02. That, and I've been reading as much as I can about the ATX in the Transaxle forum.

I had four quarts removed back in February 2003, with 48,000 on the car. I'm thinking about getting a flush done this year with 58,000 now, but will be at about 65,000 - 67,000 at the end of the year when I want to have it done. Thing is with 4 quarts only being removed once and the rest still original, I'm kind of cautious about doing it. Good idea or not you think?



People like Roadrunner and unisys will probably be able to give you more intelligent answers than I can, but my question would be, how does the oil look now? If its less than pink and/or smells burned, I'd be wary. I'd hate to say "yeah, go ahead you should be ok" only to have your tranny take a dump on you 20000 miles later.

From what I've read, the 4-quart shuffle is the safest bet when you're not sure about the current condition of a high-mileage tranny. If it had been constantly maintained over its life, that would be a different story.
