Dare I get the transmission fluid changed
I wonder if I would be tempting fate with my 2001 facelift 3.7QS.
The car has covered just shy of 175,000 miles now, and going through the reams of paperwork I got with the car its never had a fluid change in its lifetime or for that matter any gearbox work either.
Car currently drives fine, there are no strange noises from the transmission on startup, gear changes seem smooth and trouble free.
I'll hopefully be driving the car across Spain from Santander to Malaga in a few months, assuming the MOT throws no spanners into the works and I dont really want the car to breakdown whilst in Spain.
So do I chance getting it the fluid and filter changed, and who can I trust. I have read about Ben doing a few changes, but would it be worth travelling from Dorset / Hertfordshire to get it done.
