Dealership did a transmission flush and now having issues at highway speeds

[ThePaintPirate]

sucking out the fluid and sucking in the new fluid led me to believe you were going to do a complete flush

I was referring to using a hand transfer pump to suck the old fluid out of the pan, measuring that, and then putting the same amount of new fluid back in.

I'm pretty sure that @smurfslayer had tyranny problems on there at one point

I thought we weren't supposed to talk about personal things on the forum?

And just for the record service interval for the transmission is 150k.... So if you're under 150k and you're mostly a Starbucks Queen and it isn't broken don't go trying to fix it.

well... yeah ... but. If you plan on keeping her around would you take all the fluid change intervals to the maximum “total garage queen” setting?
I spent more than a few black Fridays worth of discounts to get my truck set up the way I want(ed on those particular Black Fridays). And it’s still underway.

That’s a large part of why I don’t have a Jen Tres - an objectively superior vehicle, even if it is a subjective evaluation for everyone, for me the attraction of the Jen Tres doesn’t overcome the attachment of my Jen Too.

It may be ok to take a garage queen Rap to 150k on the transmission but I don’t think I qualify for the “relaxed” maintenance schedule. YMMV of course.

I thought the gummamint just outlawed trannies.

This is why you do a drain and fill or drop pan and fill and not a flush..... You flush that garbage is going around your transmission.
