Re: Transmission service @ 81K miles not Recomended? 700 1989

That's insane. Their theory must be that the transmission is held together by crud, which will be loosened by new fluid. So let it go until you have a total failure. Ridiculous.

See the 700/900 FAQ for complete instructions on how to do this total fluid flush yourself. It's easy and takes about half an hour, with no tools needed other than a wrench, a vinyl tube, and two milk bottles. I like a high quality synthetic such as Mobil 1 ATF, even though it's more expensive. The fluid is much more resistant to high temperatures and does not oxidize.
