well i changed it today and it had a brown tint to it. the magnet at the bottom of the pan had a thick coat of metal dust around it. my car has 63,000 miles on it, does this sound about right?

Yep, tranny fluid gets dirty just like everything else. Did you replace the filter and pan gasket too? And of course make sure you clean all that crap out of the pan/off the magnets. [img]smile.gif[/img]-James<br /><br />\'96 3.8L A4 Camaro (SOLD) -
I'm thinking of doing this soon. I'm almost at 60k miles. What all did u need to complete the job? Fluid, gaskets, tools, etc.. And how long did it take?
Oh, and did you go to synthetic fluid?Comment

yep, changed both the filter and the gasket. I cleaned everything before i put it back on too.
I had a huge problem getting the o-seal off but after that it wasnt bad.<a href=\"http://www.geocities.com/atg284\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.geocities.com/atg284</a> <br /><br />1996 Black RS<br />3.8L --V6 -- A4<br />y87 performance package--flowmaster--SLP CAI--fan switch--3.42 gears--nos 5175 <br /><a href=\"http://camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/theforgottenfbod\" target=\"_blank\">http://camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/theforgottenfbod</a>Comment

no i didnt use the synthetic fluid because you have to flush the whole system to change it out. the whole job took about 2 hours beacause of that damn o-ring seal thing.<a href=\"http://www.geocities.com/atg284\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.geocities.com/atg284</a> <br /><br />1996 Black RS<br />3.8L --V6 -- A4<br />y87 performance package--flowmaster--SLP CAI--fan switch--3.42 gears--nos 5175 <br /><a href=\"http://camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/theforgottenfbod\" target=\"_blank\">http://camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/theforgottenfbod</a>Comment

just changed my fluid this weekend. the following works well. pry at the edge of the seal (its less an o-ring--more like a seal) and curl it inward. now, treat it like a freeze plug. tap on the curled portion (gently!) with a screwdriver and hammer. the seal should turn sideways and you can slip it out. drive the new seal in with a socket until its flush.
how critical is it to replace the seal? considering how tight that filter fit into either you could probably skip it every other time.Comment

synthetic is bad for our trannies supposedly, causes slippage....2000 A4 BMS Firebird<br />MTI Clear Lid & Green Filter, BMR Boxed SFCs<br />SLP Ram-Air HO Hood, Corsa w/the bling bling tips, KVR Pads<br />Red Painted Calipers, BMR PHR<br />BMR LCA\'S, Hooker Longtubes and coated Y<br />Taylor Thundervolt Wires & NGK PLUGS<br />15\" Weld Prostars & Skinnies ;)<br />SLP Fan Switch/160 Thermo<br />Yank 3600 Extreme Converter<br />SPI1 Cam and 918s, 772s, and comp hardened pushrods, Shaner\'s S2 TBComment
