I have the XLS model with an automatic six speed transmission. it has never had its transmission fluid changed. is it a good idea to change it now or leave it alone? Will changing the transmission fluid do more harm than good? What would be the best place to have it changed? Mitsubishi Dealer, AAMCO, Firestone, Pepboys? Which type of change is the best Flush, Drain and Fill, Drop pan?

most manufacturers do not recommend a flush either go to a dealer or a local transmission shop to have this done. when it is done most places like transmission shop/dealer will drop pan change filter if there is one and add what fluid is needed which is normally about three to four quarts sometimes more.
