Transmission smoother after fluid exchange?

[ZBoater]

I did my 30000 mile service, and besides an oil change and tire rotation, I also ordered the transmission fluid exchange. It was not necessary and I was not having issues, so I did it just because.

Now my transmission seems to be shifting smoother.

Is this a placebo effect? Is this even possible?

New Trans oil will clean up varnish. If you have run the truck hard and had some heat for long periods you could have some varnish ever so small but still might have some. The new oils can surely make a difference.

The service supposedly extracted the old oil and did some sort of "flush". Interesting.

Huck hit the nail on the head. The new fluid flush cleaned out the old fluid, cleaned out any trash in the transmission and cleaned up any excessive varnish that had built up in the valve body and solenoids allowing the new fluid to flow through them better. Cleaning the trash and varnish out of the valve body and shift solenoids to allow the fluid to flow better through the transmission is more than likely what made the biggest difference for you.

Huck is a noun.
Hock is a verb.
Heck is hell.

Huck is also a verb,

1) A term generally used in extreme sports referring to a large jump, often without knowledge or regard for the risk or consequences

^ Sort of like hollering "Geronimo" and aiming for the ground when there's no ground.

Somehow I skipped that stage of insanity and went straight to marriage.
