My Buick has a brownish color in the transmission fuel an
I'm not sure how long it has been like this. I just purchased
it an was wondering if I should drop the pan an drain
some of the old fluid out an fill with new an change the gasket? I've heard if it hasn't been changed for a long time an then putting in new fluid might create some problems. it runs great an it shifts fine but if it's not broke..don't fix it! any ideas?
