[DML] Re: Burned Auto Trans Fluid (Change)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Automatic transmission fluid is like brake fluid -- once you boil it,
hydraulic properties are permanently lost, never to return. This is
bad. The clutch discs are never supposed to actually touch one
another. That's the purpose of the fluid -- to make hydraulic
couplings. Boiled transmission fluid is unable to "get a grip" on the
discs. Is as useless as water. The discs will slip and spin again each
other, quickly grinding themselves into powder.

If the fluid is truly burned, change it. Even if it's just old, change
it (hydraulic fluid attracts moisture from the atmosphere, and water
is useless).
