I have been reading this board for 19 years RWD and AWD. I have read multiple car magazines for almost 50 years, and Popular Mechanics before that.

65 years ago I heard that a full ATF change some times leads to transmission woes.

I suggest what is termed a slow ATF change - drain and replace what you can - do this every oil change until you like the appearance of the fluid. Then every few years after that

After we got our '96 855R I had our dealer do an ATF flush - the fluid still looked a bit dark. They flushed it again because they found the tech did not drain the pan first.

The flushes did no harm - we drove that tremendous car for 11 years after that.

I guess that we were gentile to the car, as the fluid never looked poorly again.
