Hi to everyone and I am happy to be hire! We have already seen the FAQ question about transmission fluid change and I was relieved to find we are still on time. Our 2007 Chevrolet Colorado full cabin has 174,860 miles already whit the conventional manual transmission. The fluid is light brown, and as said, I take a look here on this page and investigate, and it says is time for a change(When we bought it, we did it without knowing the last change, but something certain, that if it had never been changed it would not be brown(or not working) which indicates that it was changed) So here is the things, the manual say 50,000 miles for a new liquid, but then when I investigate, then they tell me is 30,000 miles. What one should I believe? The same go for our 2007 honda accord we buy ago, the transmission is more reddish. About, the Chevy Trans, It doesn't slide at all, on the contrary, we just have to touch the pedal to make it go full speed (just a say) It doesn't give us any trouble when we change gears forward or backward. Nevertheless, thank you very much

I'm not aware of any FAQ article for manual transmissions. We have one for automatics.
Follow your owner's manual.
Manual transmissions are listed as a subject in the FAQ but there is no corresponding content.
my mistake is an automatic transmission. I usually get a lot confused whit these names. So yes, ATF changes 50,000 miles then. Here is the thing. when I was investigating, I saw that at 30,000 miles, the fluid turns brown, and that when the fluid need to be changed from what I know. And now whit the last video that Mr. Kilmer did, it seems there are circumstances and events that seem to alter the transmission with what it has to do with changing early or late. What do you guys think?
