Just recently I bought 06 fwd vibe with 97,000 miles on it. Automatic
I was in AutoZone to get some new break pads and rotors; figured i should change the transmission fluid as well. And when i asked the guy to look up the parts him and another worker highly advised me that if this is the first time the transmission has ever been flushed then it would be better not to flush it.
They recommended if it been flushed at 60k miles it should be flushed again later on. But if it's basically 30k past due it's better to leave it for the life of the transmission or it will start slipping really soon.
I've heard this debate before and feel like it's definitely vehicle specific and am thinking regardless of if it's the first or second flush best thing is to do it. But what do y'all think, and what has y'all's experience been when servicing a car that hadn't been properly maintained in the past
