The wagon we bought recently shifts ok when cold, but more harshly and at higher RPM when warm. The fluid is burned, even though it was power fluashed a year and 4k miles ago. Not so surprising, because that flush was apparently the first fluid change since the 60k mile service (mileage is now 108k). So, what is my best bet for prolonging the transmission life and improving the shifts? I was told another flush might make it worse or cause failure, so I was thinking about having the pan dropped and cleaned, the screen replaced, a plain fluid change, and maybe, if there is a genuinely good additive for this, putting some in. Suggestions?
