Help! I just had a transmission flush on my '02 SE with 32K miles only to learn today that I may have permanently damaged my transmission. Should I do a regular transmission oil, filter and gasket change now or will that only make it worse? Or should I just wait another 30K miles and worry about it then?

Replying to: dtownfb (Nov 09, 2006 9:38 am) The shop told me they had a new machine to flush the fluid. After it was done I mentioned it to my brother-in-law and he said they probably didn't change the filter or gasket. So I called the shop and they said that newer transmissions are more advanced and don't need the filter or gasket changed until the vehicle has high miles or if there is a leak. He also told me the machine they use goes directly through the dipstick. I imagine it must have been a "power flush". My transmission does seem to be shifting OK. Does your Quest shift very quickly at low speeds? In normal acceleration mine is in 2nd gear at 10-15 MPH an in 3rd by 30. Unless you think there is a chance the trans was damaged due to the machine forcing clogged particles in the wrong places, I won't worry. On the other hand, maybe its worth doing a regular trans oil filter and gasket change somewhere else to be sure.

Plus if your tranny doesn't fail in the first week after flushing, that's probably a good sign.  Steve, Host SUVs and Speed Shop

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 09, 2006 12:01 pm) Thanks for the posts. This is all I needed to know. Now I will check my Haynes manual to see if it has a screen or filter. If it has a screen, I'm OK. If not, I will have another change done to replace the filter. Luckily I'm doing this at 30K. At 70K I'd be a lot more worried.

Replying to: toomanyfumes (Nov 12, 2006 8:08 am) I don't see anything about being able to clean or replace a transmission (or automatic transaxle) filter or screen. A couple of the diagnostic flow chats have you remove the pan to check the condition of the fluid and the book also says that if you change the fluid and it's dirty, to change it again until the fluid is clean. There is a magnet in the tranny pan. The owner's manual may say something different? Steve, Host SUVs & Speed Shop
