Dear elbee,

Good p.m. and may this find you well. Congrats on finding a 94 940, with such low miles!! I bought one, with 70K (now 75+K).

Here's what I recommend. Flushing the tranny is a good thing. Flushing the tranny, and replacing the fluid with Mobil1 Synthetic ATF, is an even better thing.

You can do this yourself. See the FAQs, under FEATURES, above. You will need:
(a) several one-gallon, screw-top milk jugs (empty, washed, and allowed to dry)
(b) 12 Quarts of new ATF
(c) A few feet of clear plastic tubing and hose clips
(d) 2-10" adjustable wrenches (loosen the upper trans line connector to the radiator).

Draining the transmission pan removes 1.5-2 Quarts of the 9 Quarts of fluid, in the system. Flushing removes all of the old fluid.

It is not normally needful to remove the pan/clean the filter.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

spook
