Off for a clean set of fluids and it broke. It was on the way out already.

Yes, I think it may of been bad timing that caused the failure, I think I remember hearing my mechanic say the fluid was dirty, it probably failed from neglected services. I want to treat this trans right though and service at proper intervals, I heard if well maintained you could get around 250,000 miles out of it, I'm at 147,000 so that would be beyond awesome! I just want to get this service out of the way and I just want it done right with the proper fluid, so I thought the stealership!
