There seems to be a correlation between the use of my cars by my son and the demise of my transmissions. I am told this is just coincidence..... maybe.

I do know though that transmissions wear out over time. They die because of dirt in the fluid (that is why I do not change fluid ever! It increases the change of getting contamination in fluid.)

Putting the wrong fluid in destroys them. Heavy trailer loads wear the bands out faster also.

Hard use, such as joy riding is hard on the transmission also..... Hmmm, maybe there is a reason the transmission go bad in my cars when my boys drive them.......
