Hey guys I brought my truck (01 sport trac, 120,000 miles) into the shop to have the fluid and filter changed. The tranny fluid was black and my mechanic said not to change it because the clutch could start slipping with new fluid. His explanation was that the black dirty trans fluid was built up enough on the clutch to keep it running smooth and new fluid would clean the clutch and remove the build up.
I just got this truck 4 months ago and its obvious the previous owner wasnt big on maintenance.
What do you guys think? is it safe to change the fluid or do i just wait till the tranny dies...?
