Should you change your transmission fluid if you have not changed it in 105000 miles?
It is a very good idea. I would recommend you NOT flush this transmission, but just change the fluid and filter. Flushing it may just stir up trouble in one that is this old and has been neglected.ANS 2 - Actually, if someone has the mechanical sense to do it, flushing it totally is the best way by far.Changing the fluid and filter at the pan is good, but leaves almost half the total fluid in the convertor. - However this is not an easy process to describe here and also differs from vehicle to vehicle. So let's leave it that the filter and fluid change should be done at least every 50,000.
When you should change car manual transmission fluid?
When the fluid no longer look red. Transmission fluid normally doesn't have to be changed that often. For a manual transmission, maybe after 100K. The manual transmission fluid is thicker and hardly ever breaks down. Unless the gears are clashing, etc. But for an automatic transmission: that would depend on how you drive you vehicle. A good idea for a transmission fluid change would be every 3rd to 4th motor oil change. The transmission fluid is completely different from motor oil, but will eventually wear out. I say a fluid and filter change. It is usually a bad idea to get a transmission flush if the transmission is doing good, so far.

How important is flushing the transmission fluid and do you also recommend changing the filter. I have a 2001 Toyota Highlander SUV?
You don't state how many miles you have on it, but if you intend to keep it for the foreseeable future, it is a good idea. First, though, pull the transmission dipstick and let some of the fluid run off on a white paper towel. If the fluid is still red or 'pinkish' in color it is probably still good for a while longer. However, it is brownish or dark in color conisider having it done ASAP. It is a good idea to have the filter changed at the same time and/or make sure they drop the transmission sump pan in order to COMPLETELY drain all the fluid.
How do you change transmission oil?
Transmission fluid can be changed by unbolting the transmission pan on the underside of the vehicle. Unbolt three sides of the pan completely, and just loosen the fourth side, this will allow the pan to hang on an angle and the fluid will drain slowly. Once done draining it is a good idea to replace the filter also, located on the other side of the pan bolted to the transmission.
