I'm starting to get a little shuttering in the tranny of my 97 Mountaineer AWD. This happened a few years ago and I changed to AAMCO Mercon V Synthetic Blend fluid and the problem went away. Well now it's back so I'm going to drain the pan and convertor and put all new fluid in it. Before I do this, is it a good idea to dump in a bottle of "tranny flush & cleaner" that is sold and most autoparts stores? It's supposed to clean out any gunk and deposits that may have gathered over time.
Can that stuff cause any problems? Good or bad idea?
Also, should I add a bottle of "tranny conditioner" that is supposed to re-condition all of the bands in the tranny?
Or am I better off to just change the fluid and be done with it?
By the way, my mountaineer has 125,000 miles on it.
Thanks for the help,
