Re: How to: Flush your ATX fluid and change your internal filter
I had a few MINOR problems with my ATX... a small "bump" when first starting 'er up and going from reverse to "D" after backing out of the driveway being the most noticeable. Twice(in the 2 years I've owned the car,) it missed a shift and revved to high RPM's in Neutral(Where I let off the gas and it immediately "caught" and went into gear.)
I changed my fluid as posted in this thread and neither has occured since. When I install my external cooler and external filter(Thanks, BigTyla, great kit!) I'll change my fluid again.
fluid should probably be the FIRST thing that happens for any maintenance or troubleshooting... Always start with the simple stuff. My car was 10 years old when I did the maintenance, and had LOW miles for ten years... and it looked like CRAP.
Chances are you need a flush, and like Houdini said, chances are it'll fix your problem.
