Todays question concerns automatic transmissions...

Who changes their own trans fluid and filter? Why do you do it? Some helpful examples;

I change my own fluid because...

1.)Perfectionist syndrome- the only way to know something is done perfect is to do it myself...
a. No bozo to overtighten anything because he has more braun than brains...
b. No bozo to leave something loose or missing because his attention was focused on what a great time he had last night...

2.)To save money syndrome- Money paid to overpriced/overrated technicians would be better utilized in the go-tank [fuel tank]...

I pay someone else to change fluid/filters because...

1.)I can't stand the thought of trans fluid running down my forearms...
a. Doesn't that stuff cause cancer?
b. I gladly pay others to do my dirty work!

2.)I am sorry but I do not know how to do it?!

Trans fluid and filter?

1.) What the heck is that?

2.)I thought only the engine needed fluid/filter changes...

3.)I just stick the key in and drive it! I do not know what makes it go or stop correctly! Why doesn't someone take the time to write a free book telling everyone how it all works?!

As everyone can see there is no right or wrong answer, just everyones valued opinion...
