Brown Transmission fluid

Brown trans fluid... If you change the trans fluid now' odds are it will start slipping very soon. Couple hours to a day.. You will most likely need a transmission shop to flush and perform adjustments.
My experience, shop may offer 3 yr warranty at a price. You should be able to negotiate a lower price for say.. one year warranty. My opinion. If it good for a year, it's good to go. Those other things changed, all well and good, but not really related to trans. Does it still use a vacuum modulator? That's a low cost change.. (ck the vac hose) but if fluid is brown you won't have long to run.

take the car/truck to an oil change place, have them drain and FLUSH the transmission and refill with new fluid. and keep an eye on it.

Check level and condition of your transmission fluid. If your transmission fluid is turning brown or if your vehicle has not had a transmission fluid and filter change in 5 years or 50,000 miles, do that right away before you fry your transmission.

Filter is inside the transmission. Light brown fluid is sometimes an indicator or wear. But it can also mean nothing except that the red dye has faded in color.

When you changed the ****** fluid was it brown? If so I regret to inform you, you may need a new transmission. The brown color is due to the clutches in the trans, wearing down over time. Does it shift hard when you drive it? If it does that is another sign the trans has gone out the window.

If your going to have it flushed make sure they do it properly. Have the filter changed and get them to do a full flush. It will cost a bit more but is worth it, because they remove all the fluid out of the torque converter.
If your fluid is brown then yes it is probably past its use by date.Most trans fluid is red.

Problem could have been an intermittent transmission electrical problem, computer needs to be scanned for an intermittent code, this is the first place to start. If no codes are found and transmission is currently working okay then unfortunately there is no way to check for problem further at this time unless it has a problem again.

fluid has a wierd smell !!!! What color is it ? brown , black ? Burnt smell ? Transmission is burnt . Clutch packs fried .

The only way to check the level is to get under the vehicle and loosen a bolt attached to the transmission. You fill the transmission until fluit comes out the bolt hole The only way to put transmission fliud in is on the drivers side of the engine. There is a lid that screws off that you put the fluid into. It is not visible and is a pain to get to. It is tucked in under other parts of the engine. You have to use a flexible funnel. I strongly suggest that if you are going to perform this yourself, you spend the $25.00 and buy the book on the vehicle from a local parts store.

just change it,oil too old,it might low too coz of the shudder.
