[CL9]&[CU2] You got Automatic transmission? *you'll WANT to read this*

I reckon just order a magnefine filter, that's what I did.

So like every 2nd service rather than each service? is that a cost issue or so i get to see some bits n pieces so i dont feel left out? =P..

Purely cost. if you don't mind the additional cost, then you can keep doing it.

Im thinking we should draw up an alternative servicing schedule for the Euro's, jsut for the benefits of the owners

Do the filter and fluid change once every year?

i think that would be excessive,

Im thinking ATF every 2nd year, filter every 4th year

Where did you order it from and how much?

Ebay, for I believe $38, you could probably source it cheaper but I just went straight to ebay cbf looking around.

have any of you guys considered using an additive called Lubeguard ? I have used it before and swear by the stuff in auto transmissions. At one stage SAAB suggested it in order to cure some of there transmission issues.

I don't sell or have any affiliation with this product btw, just throwing it out there, do some research before using.

No amount of lubeguard or lucasoil
Will magically fix a failing transmission
From the day the car left showroom the transmission has been slowly 'ripping' itself to pieces
By doing regular maintenance on the transmission i.e fluid changes, not bunny hopping or shifting into P or D while moving
You can prevent major headaches in the long term
But if you havent been looking after it and hope the 'power of dreams' will save your car... Then im afraid your transmission is no longer for this world
And when it goes out... It goes with a bang

Totally agree with you, I was suggesting using it as an additive when you do go to change the fluid. I don't believe any fluid will last the life of the car.

Sorry if you took it the wrong way, meant no malice
But i see your point and of course as everything in life - its a gamble hahah
