30k dealer visit!!

I would say rather than having them just change your trans fluid, you might consider having them change the fluid AND the filter. When I bought my VX it had just under 30k and I was shifting hard. When I drained my fluid it was BLACK and smelled way burnt. I changed my filter too, and ever since I have been shifting smooth as glass. Just a suggestion. I am gonna do another trans service on mine at 60-65k.

They will try to talk you out of it though. They use a machine which flushes the fluid and back-washes the filter that they insist works perfectly. To change the filter, they will have to open up the transmission, and they won't want to do that.

Yeah, that's why ended up doing mine myself, and yes indeed it is a pain, but it is worth it. I think with our VXes the two most import things to maintain are the engine and the trans.....I guess that's any vehicle though.
