Re: Controversial 4l60e maintenance question

I always wondered why the fluid smelled burnt, maybe the clutches have worn. most people don't change fluid until they experience an issue with the trans...."maybe the filter is clogged" ? if the filter is clogged than the trans must be coming apart ? Trans is a concealed unit, nothing from the outside can get into the filter ? So as a shop owner I will not change trans fluid if its burnt, take it to quick lube or someplace and have it done. If I change the fluid most likely the old worn out clutches don't like the new fluid and if the customer has a issue after the fluid change than I get a bad name because I was the last one to work on the trans !!! I rebuild transmissions not a fluid changer, a lot can be said about that statement take it how you like.
