That is discouraging enough to make me not even want to change mine the first time, because I am lucky to get it even changed once. I do not think mine is that bad however, because the fluid does not look that bad, actually it looks OK, but I have no idea when it was last changed.

The only reason I am changing mine is because of that "slamming" into gear when the car is warmed up. After it warms up, I often have to place it in "D" or "R" with my foot off of the brake, or else it slams in gear and the engine stalls.

Otherwise, the shifts are perfect.
