It is advisable that you check with your local mechanic as to when you should get your Transmission Fluid changed in your car. Ideally, it should be changed every 3 years or so if the car is driven aggressively.

Fluids Make A Car Run?
One of the most important fluids in your car is the transmission fluid. There is no way around getting your car to run properly without transmission fluid. This fluid is what makes your transmission turn and the gears shift. If you have a leak and there is little of no fluid in your transmission, then your car will not move. There are some signs you can look for if you think your car is low on fluid.If you have a large piece of cardboard, you can place it under the car. This will let you know if there is any fluid leaking form under the car. Leave the board under the car for at least a day in order to see if anything is leaking. Take the board out from under the car and look to see if there is any fluid on the board. If there is, you need to examine to see what kind of fluid it is. It if it red, then it is most likely transmission fluid.When you discover there is a transmission fluid leak, you will need to have it looked at by a mechanic immediately. Some leaks are not detectable until the mechanic looks underneath the car. You could also have an internal leak that is not showing up under the car. The fluid could be going to your oil reserve or to another part of the car. Sometimes when you have your transmission fluid changed, the bolt may not be tight enough and some fluid will leak around it. All you have to do is take it back to the mechanic and get them to tighten the bolt. If the fluid leak is large, you will either need to get the gasket changed or find out where the fluid is going. Do not run a car longer than necessary with no transmission fluid. This will damage the transmission more than if you would just get the fluid leak fixed.

How do you flush a transmission?
You can take the car to reputable transmission shop and have them flush it professionally. If you want to do it your self... You can do it if your car has an automatic transmission and a transmission cooler. You need to take off the cooler lines and determine which one is the intake (brings the fluid back into the transmission). Take a clean bucket and put the intake line in it; put the other line in a separate bucket. Fill the clean bucket with new transmission fluid and start the car. The transmission will begin to pump out the old, dirty fluid and suck in the clean fluid. Make sure the intake hose is always submerged; you do not want it to suck air. Run the car until you start seeing clean fluid being pumped out. After all of the fluid is changed, you need to change the filter. You must do this or the new fluid will become contaminated and there wouldn't have been any reason for you to have flushed the transmission. You will lose a few quarts of fluid when you drop the pan; you may be able to catch it and reuse it. After the filter is changed, top the transmission off with clean fluid.
