Quick question. Should I change it or leave it alone?

Topic starter

I have a 1997 Lincoln Town Car with 29,500 miles on it and it is the original miles.  I have already changed the coolant, brake, power steering and oil.  I'm wondering if I should change or flush the transmission fluid?  It's shifting great with no problems.

Change it (Drain and refill). Do not flush it.

I would change it.  From this point onward, change the transmission fluid every 40,000 miles which for most people driving 13,000 miles a year is about every 3-4 years.  In your case, if you don’t drive much it will take a while to reach that mileage.  To be safe and as a good insurance policy, I would still just change it every 3-4 years.  Of course, if all of a sudden you plan to put more than 13,000 miles a year then you will hit 40,000 miles sooner and you should then just go by mileage versus time in that scenario.
