So, about a month into having my SE-R, i'm having some tranny slippage. Mainly from 1st into second. Also, there is a delay when selecting D(yes, its the AT). I've read about the valve bodies in these car sucking, i've read the solenoid replacement helps..the thing is, i have no code. Plugged in the obd2 tool, read the computer, no code.
So i pulled the tranny dip stick. Darker than maple syrup, but no burnt smell. I'm not sure if this car has had the tranny fluid changed in its lifetime or not. I've asked a few "mechanics" about doing a tranny flush. They say that the clutch particles in the fluid help it bite, etc, then i read that people change the fluid at over 150k miles and have no issues. So here's my question. Do a flush/filter change at the dealership or not? Anyone had any issues after a flush?
