That’s good advice! I’ve heard that neglecting the filter can cause even more issues down the line.

Don’t be afraid to tackle it! Just take your time and research each step. You can find a lot of DIY videos online.

I’ve found that regular maintenance really helps prevent issues. I make it a point to check the fluid and change it on a schedule.

27

Agreed! A little preemptive care goes a long way. It’s sad how many ignore transmission maintenance until it’s too late.

28

I’ve considered getting a new transmission altogether. Anyone ever had to do that? What should I expect?

Getting a new transmission is a big commitment! If you go that route, expect it to be pricey, but sometimes it’s the best option long-term.

I’ve heard there was a recall for transmission software updates. Can anyone confirm?

34

Yes, there were recalls! I got a notice for mine. Check with your dealer to see if yours is affected.

35

I think the affected vehicles were from mid-2014 to late-2015 models. If you haven’t checked yet, do it ASAP!

36

Exactly! My friend also had issues and found out his truck was part of the recall. Better safe than sorry!

37

Does anyone know what steps owners should take to initiate the recall repairs?
