My Toyota dealer tells me the auto. trans. fluid on my '93 Camry 4
cyl. is black and should be replaced.
Not sure but it may have never been replaced. Maybe one time max.
Think he wanted $100-200 or so for replacement, etc.
Should I go ahead and do this, even though the trans. works fine?
Should I ignore the principle of "If it works, don't fix it" and do
the work in the name of good maintenance? I don't want to damage or
impair the transmission by not maintaining it.
I drive 2500 so. Calif. freeway miles/year, and plan to do so for
years to come, as I am an old fogey.
Am thinking of AAMCO doing it. They have a coupon for $80 for drain
and fill.
*****Aren't you supposed to re-adjust the transmission when going from
120K miles fluid to new fluid?*****
If that's all there is, I could probably do it.
Also, I'm concerned that in the middle of the work, they'll want to
replace something for, say, $600-800+,.
Are '93 Camry auto, trans. prone to expensive repairs as early as 120K
miles?
Kelley Blue Book on the car is $2875.
I am aware that anything is possible, just wanted info for an on-the-
spot decision on an expensive repair on a transmission that works
fine.
Will be grateful for any advice, suggestions, etc. Tnx. No guarantees
expected, of course.
